Re: Sony DSC MVC camera repairs

I just dropped my DSC-V1 while the zoom lense was out.
Now the zoom seems to have become fixed and when i switch the power on it makes a clicking noise as it attempts to close the lense.
Eventually it gives up and a message on the screen says "turn power off and on again".
I guess that some cog or other got damanged when the camera hit the floor.
Is there anything that can be done?

  Same problem with a Sony P73 camera. Dropped today while the zoom was out. Now a grinding noise, then message to turn on/off? Might this be repairable? Any estimate?
  
  Thanks

  The same thing happened to me today also. Someone threw it out of my hand and I don't know what to do to fix it.
  Any help here?
  Do i have to get a new camera?
  Because I really don't want to spend $300.
  :(

    If is fixable and will cost much less, please get back to me by email.

  I have the same problem. My camera was dropped and now the lens won't close when the camera is off and the zoom is stuck. I have a DSC-P150. Any estimate on around how much it would cost to have it repaired? Thanks.
