Camera Will Not Turn On/lens Is Stuck.
My camera is currently in the following state: the zoom lens is out and won't return, the display shows flickering stripes and it won't turn on. The only thing that works is the film rewind button on the bottom of the camera. I also tried putting in a new battery, but that doesn't work.. How can I get my camera to work again?
Requests for more information
