Re: stuck lens cover HZ35W WB650

No idea how to disassemble unfortunately, but my WB650 blades open easily by hand with the camera off and are sprung loaded. Therefore I guess the problem is either...

1. Dirt, crud in the works.
2. Bent blades from a knock.
3. Broken spring.

No. 3 you should be able to feel for.

No.2 you may be lucky and be able to straighten without disassembly as they would likely be bent inwards and could be pulled out, but there's the risk of breakage.

No.1 if it were mine I would try a tiny amount of WD40 dribbled in, but that's me and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
