there is no way to reverse the E41 code (lens motor error) without opening the unit. Solution #1, open the camera, locate the brown cable ribbon that runs between the mainlens and te edge of the camera case. there you will notice that the ribbon has one phillips screw running right through the middle of the ribbon cable. This phillips screw must be removed. Under the phillips head screw, ON the ribbon, you will notice a small thin metal "slide resistor" that is now able to be moved. you will notice the slide part of this resistor MUST be put back into the correct location on the lens motor posistioning screw. (basically this resistor slides back and forth when the lens moves, thus keeping track of the exact posistion of the lens. The slide part of the resistor can "Jump the track" if you will, and become misaligned. All you have to do is just gently move the lens to the OUTERMOST posistion, and then align the sresistor and ribbon back up to the lens, and reattach the phillips screw thus securing the resistor slide back in its proper position. reassemble the camera and you are back in business. -Marty
