Have had this lying around since my then-toddler dropped it on the floor. You can see how the retractable lens is stuck sideways a bit. It won't retract. Is this an easy and cheap fix?

I just checked Amazon, and you can find them used for $35 shipped.

Have you gently tried prying the front element back into alignment?

Have you ($35) not so gently tried prying the front element back into alignment?
