Topic: Camera lens just made a grinding noise (Read 1717 times)
try moving the lens left right lightly when at the same time trying to zoom now slowly start pulling it up note: you don't have to actually pull it up just put a bit of force there, It worked for me so all i can say is that good luck with yours !!!!
I had the same problem with my old camera.
The lens is moved by an electric motor and gears.
It should look similar to this:
One of the gears got damaged (grinding sound) and now you can only hear the motor running.
You have to decide if it's worth repairing.

Hi all,
My lens on my Samsung camera just made a grinding sound and it won't open.
I turned it on and quickly went to zoom and I heard a grind, now it's just pitch black. I try to turn it on and off and I hear a little noise coming from my lens (like a whir for 0.01ms) and then nothing. The LCD screen works so I'm guessing I just trashed this thing.
Yes?

Are you sure there wasn't anything in there for example sand? I would suggest taking it to get fixed it will cost you but it's worth having it looked at as it would cost you more to get a new one.
Well... I don't live particularly close to any beaches, so no, not sand.
Damnit!
I might as well just sell a BTC and buy a DSLR, I'm thinking.
