The turn the power off and on again error appears in Sony Cyber-shot DSC Digital Cameras.

Most Camera Repair situations are related with a lens issue, the lens can be stuck or can damage to the sensor lens.
It is very common that this error starts appearing if the camera was dropped; it could be intermittent or permanent.

If you can quickly shut it off and power on again, and it is working, it is fine.
The problem persisting shows that something is going on inside the camera.

Once the camera is disassembled, it becomes evident if the problem is adjustment, cleaning or requires actual parts to be replaced.

Many amateur attempts to fix the Sony Cyber-shot DSC result in causing damage and breakage of further pieces. The assembly is quite tight and does not allow for parts to be easily moved.
An attempt to disassemble without the technical expertise and tools often ends up in additional parts being broken, or “left over” parts when trying to re-assemble.
