Ricoh caplio rr30 error

my rr30 has developed an error. When you turn it on it displays "Error
00-00-00 30-02-23" and the lens remains out in the "on" position even
when it is turned off.
It is already 3 years old, and is "only" 3.2 mega-pixels. Is there
another sensible alternative to abandoning it and buying a new camera?
The last thing I did was to try to take a picture of a moth using the
"micro" facility and was somewhat surprised when it flashed as I pressed
the button to take the picture.
