What am I doing to do?!

Just a second ago, I accidentally dropped my Nikon Coolpix camera to the floor.. And I realised it wasn't working. It displays the message "Lens error". I tried turning it off but it didn't let me. It just kept to the same message and the lens wouldn't do anything.. So I "forced" it in. I heard cracking and everything so I guess I must have broke it?

Then I searched online for help. I tried the "face camera to ceiling, hold turn off + shutter button at the same time" and so. the lens did actually start moving a bit. Yet now the pictures are fusy as ever. I definitely have broken the lense or something.

Is there a way of fixing the lense or whatever? If I never forced the lense to go back in, could it have went back to normal?

I 'm soo fustrated right now.. I got the camera 2 months ago. Heart broken ;-(

Usually one of them tends to fix the camera. If not, you'll have to take it to a camera repair shop and pay to get it repaired, or get a new camera.

Well the lens is definitely out of alignment. But if you heard "cracking" it's possible you may have stripped it. My recommendation is to send it in for warranty repair and not mention you dropped it. They'll probably be able to tell anyway, but it's worth a shot.

Lessons in electronics can get expensive.

The thing is I got it abroad, which means that I have to get it sent back to Hong Kong?
I think I 'll just get a new one.
Try and be careful this time!

Thanks for both of your advise though :)

Ack. I'd check with NikonUSA anyway. They may honor it.
