lens will neither extend nor fully retract
I have an S50 Canon PowerShot. For a year, it has taken some jiggling to close the cover and get the lens to fully retract. During a recent vacation, the telescoping function stopped working entirely. The lens is about 1/16" shy of fully retracting. When I move the cover one way or the other, the lens makes some noise, but will neither fully extend nor fully retract.
Repairing the camera myself is a last resort. I would prefer to find an entrepreneur with a good reputation and the ability to repair the camera. Is there such a person? If not, what can I do on my own?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

Definitely sounds like a bad lens motor. Due to the difficulty in finding the proper gears etc, I'd replace the complete lens. It is not a terribly complicated job and does not require a whole lot of special tools. The lens is available for around $10 on ebay etc.
