I had tried freezing the camera, taking the battery out and replacing, and some light taps without success. Banging the flat side hard onto a book did the trick.

It worked, hit if firmly on the lens side. will see how long it keeps working. Feel like I'm in a cartoon. ok this is just too funny.

But the time that it sat in the case for over a month and worked fine before that, then it gives me the lens error message. I tried all kinds of things with the lens...holding them shut, open, wiggling them back in place, taking out the batteries, banging it against my hand, whatever. NOTHING worked. My son's birthday party was today so I tried it again for the hell of it. Nothing. Took out the batteries and put them right back in (done that a million times) and suddenly, it's working fine again. Great! I've missed a ton of priceless shots because my stupid camera wasn't working. At least it is now, so I suppose I should shut up and be happy. Now I just gotta figure out why my other, older Cannon Power Shot turns red when I take pictures sometimes. Possessed maybe?
