Dust on sensor. How does one get to see the sensor?

My G11 shows no image on the screen. After a few seconds of trying to focus the screen goes black. No idea what is going on.

This camera’s biggest problem is a LENS ERROR fault during which the lens won’t extend and the camera then shuts down. I’ve had 4 G11s and this is what kills them. Had one repaired—lasted a year or so, then the same problem killed the camera.

I tried a few SDK and they are all working fine on computer.
But when I used it on G11, it works sometime and stop working from time to time... but they all work very well on computer.
So I believe is the reading components on the camera that has problem... do you think this is fixable ??
Thanks!!

How can a repair lens scratches? My camera takes acceptable pictures near, but from far, landscapes, they are blurred.
