From time to time the lens cover on my Minilux doesn't quite get out of the way fast enough when I switch it on, and the front of the lens jams against the back of the lens cover. It's all stuck: half way open.

A quick off/on always solves the problem.

Does anybody else have this problem? And is there a permanent solution?

Mine did that, and a message appeared in the LCD indicating an electronic problem. I had it repaired (under warranty, fortunately) and there were no more problems.
 
My Minilux did the same whenever it sat in a cupboard for a couple of months. When I used it regularly, everything worked normal. I attributed it to some dust in the mechanism.
