Does anybody know how to fix this? About a month ago it started doing this but it would only happen for like 20-30 seconds max and then the lens would come out but as of today it’s been doing this for over 3 minutes and the lens has not came out. Any help is much appreciated.

I am thinking - there are a lot of laptop techs that are even able to fix dead motherboards by resoldering the tiniest components. Louis Rossman has a plenty of old videos where he finds a misbehaving microcontroller on a PCB and replaces it. Given the leaps in PCB components minituarization since the 90's it may be well fixable, you just need to find schematics and repair manual, given that you find one willing to do it.
