no freaking way!!! i started getting this error last week. i tried taking it apart earlier this week but it is nearly impossible to get to the back of the lens because of all the wires and chips that dont want to come off so i had to put it back together. i was looking for a solution to lens error 14 and lens error 22 and i stumbled upon your post. i couldnt find anything on the whole internet about how to fix this so i got so frustrated that i banged the bottom of the camera really really hard into my fist and tried to turn it on again and still the same old thing.... power comes on, lens pops out half way, and nothing. only this time, it came out half way and then i pulled on it really hard to get it out and what do you know??? the dang thing is working. i literally just now fixed it one minute ago. so maybe you should try beating it around and pulling on it. what do you have to lose, your camera already doesnt work and a repair would cost more than what you paid for it.
