Lens Cap Error Message

When I turn on my EDC I get an error message that says to remove the lens cap. The lens cap has been removed and the display shows half of the view in black so i'm guessing the internal appature is hanging up. The camera then turns itself off. Is there anything I can do to get the lens to open up to its correct position or is this a send back repair?
