Camera fixed!
I took my Canon SD 870 IS to Burning Man and a couple uses after I came back, the lens wouldn’t retract anymore. Since the cost to repair these cameras is usually around $200 (close to the cost), I thought I would try to repair it at home.
Before I cracked the case open and attacked it with Dust Off, though, I Googled a solution! Banging the side of the camera hard against the palm of my hand was successful. Whoo!

Hooray for fixed cameras! Next time you can take better pictures for us than my wimpy little camera. Although, I did get a few good ones, I’ll have to send ‘em your way.

Nothing like the old “impact adjustment,” I always say!
