In summary, the person is having issues with their Cybershot DSC W80 camera, where it gets jammed and only shows the SONY display. They are looking for help to fix the issue before their trip is ruined. They also mention a previous instance where taking out the battery helped, but it is not working this time. They are wondering if it could be a battery issue or a problem with the product itself. Someone suggests trying a reset button or questioning if it is a fake product.

Hope it all worked out. Wonder if there was a reset button to get all settings to default status. Might be a fake product too?
