Was at the beach and got sand in the lens when a wave hit my wife. It is the Canon SX170 IS. The camera works fine but has spots in all pictures because of the sand.

Canon PowerShot G11: Dust Speck Inside Canon Powershot G11 Lens

Tue, 17 Apr 2018 03:26:15 -0700

I have what appears to be a dust spec on the inside of my Canon Powershot G11 lens and I want to disassemble, clean and reassemble. I took it to a shop that looked at it and they are 99% sure that it is not dead pixels in the sensor. They advised buying a new camera because repair would be $100's or find a used G11 without the dust speck and did lament that the G11 is a great camera, had a cult following and it was almost impossible to clean the innards.

Anyway if it is trash I might as well take a stab at cleaning it. Is there a manual that will guide me though the inner world of this cube packed with technology with a hope of being able to reassemble it?

Canon PowerShot SX280 HS: Doesn't recognize fully charged battery

Sat, 18 Mar 2017 06:35:00 -0700

the camera does not recognize fully charged batteries. I have purchased a replacement battery thinking that the battery may have been the problem, but the camera does not recognize either. Even with two fully charged batteries I am unable to take a photo.

Canon PowerShot SD1000: "No Memory Card Error" What next?

Wed, 01 Jun 2016 07:10:53 -0700

Hello Everyone. I am new here so bare with me.

I tried all the "WONDERFUL' toothpick tricks and what not, to no avail. I still do not have successful results.

I disassembled the camera completely.

I am attaching some pictures to see if anyone sees something that I am missing. Something I am overlooking. Also, is there an option to fix the memory card slot…ie. Soldering or replacing it?

Your comments are welcomed and appreciated

Thanks

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS: Why do my batteries only last a few seconds?

Mon, 04 Nov 2013 13:39:21 -0700

This camera has worked fine for a few years, but recently the batteries have been dying very quickly - the low battery sign flashes, then the screen goes blank and when I turn the camera on again, either the screen says "change batteries" or turns off in about a second. When I get lucky, the camera will stay on just long enough for me to snap a picture. After changing the batteries, they usually don't last more than a minute. I've tried the toothpick trick with folded pieces of plastic straws but it doesn't help.

I may have dropped the camera or dropped something on it, because there is a small crack on the top corner, next to the shoot button. Could that have caused this problem? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
