Every single day on YA, several people ask for advice about their broken camera.
Little P&S cameras seem to be fragile, they don't like to be dropped, sat on, or squashed in a bag, least of all while they are turned on and the lens is extended.
If you (or your sibling/cousin/dog) have bent your lens, your camera is broken.
If it suddenly won't take photos, or does other extremely weird things, it is probably broken.
So now that your camera no longer works, there are a few things you can try (regardless of what the actual symptoms are):
1) READ YOUR MANUAL !!!!!! There is a reason why we get those, they are full of good ideas. They also have a trouble shooting section which may help you figure out what is going on.
2) Pull out the battery for 30 seconds - sometimes that resets the camera. Read the user guide if there is a way to "factory reset" the camera.
3) Check the manufacturer's website. You might find good advice, or user forums, or links to their support section, or a person to "live chat" with or all of the above.
4) Take the camera to a local repair shop. If it is just a little P&S, you'll most likely find it will be cheaper to replace it, than it is to repair it. But it is worth a try, right?
5) If you have exhausted all other options and you have decided the camera is now a paperweight, start trying to fix it yourself. I have heard people say they managed to bend the lens back into position and the camera worked again.
Good luck, and make sure to be nice and gentle with your next camera (but stay away from Kodaks...... they seem to break just by looking at them).

Answer
Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...
Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.
