Hey, wondering if you can help.

I received an NX3000 as a gift last week. When I turn it on the lens will extend slowly, 3 times, and then it seems like its trying to extend further than it can, and therefore is clicking/vibrating vigorously. It will then say check lens. If I turn it off and back it, it does the same, but it will retract, 3 times, then it seems to want to retract further in and starts clicking.

Does anyone know what this could be? It did it when i first tried it, but then stopped. Now I can't use the camera at all.

Not sure but the lens might need to be repaired. I had a lens on a compact that started doing this after I dropped it. I had to send it in for repair.
