I've been using my Sony Cyber-shot DSC - W170 every day shooting over 1,000 pictures in the last 35 days. It probably has been banged around more than most cameras in a short period of time. At Scott's last night as I was snapping away, the lens decided to go out, go in, go out and a message came up on the screen. "Turn off the power and turn power on" flashed. We followed the instructions, but no joy. No way would it take a picture.
With less than a week to go before we arrived home, somehow I had to get the camera fixed. What fun is a blog without photos?
The Internet has changed our lives. I googled Sony, my camera model, and found the page to troubleshoot. Guess what, others have had the same problem. I didn't have much hope that the printed solution would work, others had remarked that it had not, but I tried anyway.
The instructions were to bang the bottom of the camera, with the power on, pretty hard on a table top. Whoola! it worked. I'm back in focus.

finally, you are on your way home. What fun following you on an amazing adventure. Hopefully, I'll have recovered from school starting and be able to get on the bike again. See you soon, Jean
