Hi all, I have a Sony DSC-S85 camera that lately was giving me a "lens cap attached" error message even though the lens cap was off....thus rendering the camera inoperable. For the last two nights I have been on the phone with Sony who basically said I had to take it to a service center, and the cheapest one I found charged 181 to fix it. Well, I also spent the last two nights searching the Inet for a solution and came across this forum. WHat I read was basically, "give the camera a couple of good hard whacks" and you know what? IT WORKED! With the camera off, and the lens pointing down into my open left hand I struck the viewscreen twice with my right hand (open faced) pretty hard. Powered the camera on and instantly heard the lens push out and I knew the error was fixed. Perfect solution. Casey
