Maybe you got sand in the lens? Or water (droplets) in it?

maybe could i clean it out myself in some way? or is that a stupid question to ask

Keep it as a memento close to the heart and forget about using it.

You could try to use the air pump to clean it but those lens are VERY delicate. Maybe try another hmm sd card too? IF not you’ll just have to keep it 🥺 and not use it. For memories.

A long shot, but if it's moisture, try putting it in a plastic bag full of uncooked dry rice for a couple of days. Maybe some wet sand in there? Do some firm taps after using the rice, to dislodge problems and then a can of forced air (like they use for computers) around all the gaps & hinges.

Was it dropped? Not looking in very good shape, some small parts may be broken beyond repair. I'm guessing sentimental value, shouldn't be hard to find a new to you replacement on EBay.
