Thank you for this guide. I managed to strip one of the screws holding down the control dial and had to drill it out – don’t send a software engineer to do a hardware job :-) . I also found re-inserting the cables into the sockets pretty painful.

Overall it was a pretty easy fix. Your guide and $9 on eBay (http://r.ebay.com/jbyswX) saved me a $150 repair from Canon.

Thanks again.

No wonder step 6 - the part that says ‘gently lift the flap’ is written in red. The ‘flap’ is glued onto the camera, and ’lifting’ it simply breaks it off the camera, never to be returned. It was all going so well until this point; now I have to take/send it to an engineer and hope it can be fixed. I would ignore this part!

simplement bravo de France ! c’est excellent !

Be careful step 5 when you reconnect the ribbon to the dial. it may be misinserted (just under the right place and the screen won’t work.

Thanks for this but I have a problem with the screws. They got damaged when I took them out, and I need to get new ones, but I can’t find a place to get this exact size. Any advice?
