Hi there my daughters camera will not turn on.it clicks like it wants to but the lens won’t open.

Anybody out there got any solutions.we are going on holiday in a fortnight and she would love to take lots of photos.

Hi @Peterdsch300, welcome to the Community.

You don't say how old the camera is, but if it has been sitting unused for a while you may have to fully recharge the battery before it will work.

Most of the 'won't switch on' issues with compact cameras are due to a lack of power. If the camera is quite old you may need to replace the battery; if it is still under warranty you could look to getting it repaired. 

Hope you get it going again!
