My powershot A1400 is displaying "lens error" . It will neither close nor take a picture....any suggestions?

If the lens is sticking out, turn on the camera and GENTLY try pushing the lens back in while using the zoom button. Give it a slight twist to see if maybe some dirt is causing the lens to get stuck. Just don't use too much force or you'll need a new camera for sure.
Try a reset all as well.

Before you push anything check if the lens is crooked. Sometimes they get bumped sideways and a push to straighten it can often snap it back. If it's crooked and you push it in more damage could occur.
If if you are sure it's straight then a push in might solve your issue.

Thank you. I just worked on it a few minutes and so far, it is working perfectly again.
