I have a Nikon Coolpix S6000 that I got for Christmas of 2010. Today i was taking pictures(i had already taken about 30 pictures) and i got the screen of death… Yes… The! LENS ERROR! Screen. I read a bunch of stuff about this and i know that a bunch particles and gunk got in the mechanics of the lens. I can turn it on and it shows a perfect screen… For about a second. Then it goes out of focus and then says LENS ERROR. After i turn it off the lens doesn't move. I have tried everything that camerarepair's blogspot says to do I promise. I was thinking to take it to geek squad at Best Buy but later read that they will more than likely just send it to Nikon then charge you extra.
So, if I send it directly to Nikon(like they suggest you to do for this problem on their website) how much will it cost? I rough estimate? I don't think i have a warranty or anything and I have never registered it on their website. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thankss
XO, Taylor
