Thanks for your reply . I will try your advice and agree about the nothing to loose in DIY !

I will also look around on YouTube . Shame there is no strip down manual . Always been interest in looking inside one of these cameras ,,, now with nothing to loose I get my chance

thanks again

It sounds the gears are stripped, but it could be misalignment as well, try some gently force push the lens in or try to pull it out whilst on, if lucky it could solve the problem.

Does the camera shows any E-code ?
