I have the same thing happening with mine! It was working perfectly, then the next day the lens doesn't extend and it doesn't start.... just those colour bars. HP was no help because it's no longer warranteed. Did you ever find out what the problem was or is it just broken?

I doubt he still have the camera considering he encounted the problem a year and4 months ago.

But I have an hp 945 and ofcourse,its just a headeache.It started with mechanical problems with the zoon then now it gotten worse where i can see pink lines on the pictures, screen, and viewfinder. Its under a retail store extended warranty so Im in the process of sending it off.

These days HP printer support is managed by remote support and I would say first we need to give it a try in house by looking at the HP Printer User guide, maximum problem arises only we are not able to download the proper patches or virus in our system. Otherwise it should work
