Unfortunately it would cost more to repair than a new one.

The only thing to try is cleaning the lens, you can get cleaning discs for this, however you could just open the lid and very very carefully wipe any dust off the lens using a very soft brush or cloth.

I wouldn't normally advise manually cleaning the lens as you can wreck them but on a cheap product like this a cleaning CD is half the cost of the item (nearly!)
