Lens Control Error - FinePix S8000fd

[mranasahmad]

Hello everyone
First I'm new at forums of DPS, so please don't put Ban on me if its not a right section to post such problems

I'm using Fuji FinePix S8000fd and its Free Damage Cover just expired couple of months ago and unfortunately my camera felt from the 6ft tripod last week as it was not properly Screwed off, for a moment i was in shock, camera was automatically powered off i switched it on and here it come on black LCD "Lens Control Error".

I restarted it but error was there, i went in my preview to chack if my pictures are lost but there was no memory loss, from preview i half pressed my shutter to try one more time if there is any life remained in my camera, and it started working.. HUH....

but that's not it, now the problem is every time i start taking photos it switches on nicely, take few shots, and again "Lens Control Error" go to preview, half press shutter, get it alive but still at its minimum focal length there is part of hardware i can see in my view finder/LCD at right top corner which ruins the un-cropped image, and after while speed of lens of taking picture gets slow.

I have talked Fuji here, they are asking for high price repair....
Any kind Help would be Appreciated

Thanks
