Kodak Easyshare Mechanical Problems.

[columbo1]

I Have a Kodak Easyshare camera. The Lens Will Not Stay retracted. I Power The camera Off And The Lens Will retract And Come Right Back Out. A Message On The Screen Reads " Lens Obstructed" And then Turns Off.
Any One Know of the solution of this Problem?

I've had this problem on a different P&S camera. Ended up having sand stuck in the thing from when my mom used it to photograph her class at the beach. Brought it to Walmart photo center and they were able to clean it out with some compressed air. So if you've got some lying around you could give that a shot, or bring it to a photo lab and they may do it for you.
