770SW Olympus needs a factory reset, lens stuck open

HI

How do I factory reset an Olympus u770 SW camera. The lens is stuck open and when this happened before I returned it to Olympus who merely factory reset it.

With the lens permanently stuck open, the normal menu which contains the software reset button is not available as the camera is not available to take pictures I presume. Many thanks. Simon

You should be able to order what you want from most any photo products supply store. You can also get in contact with Olympus directly, and enquire for a local dealer for what you need. '

Hi

Sorry to hear about your issue with the Olympus mju 770 SW. There's a couple of things you can check and try, before thinking about a repair or binning the camera and getting a new model.

1. Check the contacts on the battery are clean?

2. Clean the contacts inside the cameras battery compartment are clean?

3. Is the charger actually charging the battery? Try another battery or see if you can test the existing battery with a multi-meter to check there is some power in it.

It is fairly common for chargers to fail, so it's worth checking out but don't go spending money on a new charger unless you know it will fix your problem.

Hope this helps

David

Yep. another lens stuck.

i had this problem after putting it in a jug of bear (i know, i know...not so smart)...i washed the camera with a small amount of dishwashing detergent and a good rinse and it seemed to solve the problem for me....not sure if this is the recommended way of dealing with it though.
