ChrisRoss 150 Posted December 6, 2020 Google is full of ideas like this one: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/22207/Lens+wont+retract+and+turns+off and if you are felling adventurous you could search for a teardown video or guide such as this: https://www.canonwatch.com/disassembly-repair-canon-powershot-g16/ The G16 was released in 2013 so it's even possible that Canon may no longer support it. The cheapest option would probably be a second hand one on Ebay (assuming you have a housing for it and don't want to replace that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
