Today, my dp1s stuck. Can't turn it on, the lens is still protruded.

I'm very sorry to read that.

Experienced the very same two times last year. My DP1 and DP1s lenses stuck.

Sent them both to Sigma Germany for repair. They hand them over internally to Sigma Headquarter in Aizu / Japan. Total repair price per cam was about 140EUR. Used DP1, DP1s, ... sell for about 100,-EUR in Germany so this seems to be economical nonsense, but of course you get a freshly adjusted camera with new lens, so to me it made sense as I love the Foveon Oldtimers.
