Great guide, used it to tear down my A2200. Found an internal battery:MS6145E located on the top ICB (where the flash is,) does anyone know what this does/powers?

My camera, according to Canon USA has a bad sensor(?) because the display fails after taking one photo, but they did not say what sensor or its location. I tore it down looking for sensors and found one for the flash/redeye and a questionable object (I don’t think it’s a sensor.)

If the issue persists, you need to go ahead and update your printer driver. Go to the website of the manufacturer and search for your Canon Printer Error State drivers. Download the driver’s recent version manually.
