My E850 8 Megapixel camera when last time used attempted to shut off when power button was depressed. However, Lens structure will not retract and lens cover close over lens. Have taken battery out and put it back into unit. Unit attempts to power up and audible “buzzing” not unlike “Grrrrrrrrrrrrr… Grrrrrrrrrr…”. is then heard and will not stop until I remove battery again. What is the issue and is it repairable by myself. Thank You
My GE X5 would freeze, not turn on, or prematurely turn itself off - taking my batteries out was the only way. GE explained that if the memory card has gone bad, the camera stalls when trying to write to it. A new memory card, formatted from the camera menu, fixed my particular problem. Can’t hurt to try.
