Chosen Solution
Hello, After following Tyler Koski’s excellent dismantling guide in order to replace a broken screen and clean a gritty lens (fell off the Kilimanjaro, literally) and reassembling the whole thing, I found that my camera no longer turns on (it worked before, albeit the LCD was broken and the images dirty). I tried : Using the “Power On” and “View pictures” buttons (all buttons click correctly, but no results)Checking if my battery is charged (it is)Re-dissassembled it, checking for any damage to any component or connector (nothing visible)Reassembled it, wiping each connector with a clean cloth and blowing compressed air in/on any connector and component as I went. After all this, no result. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I’m quite attached to it… Thanks in advance, Alexander
After reading a suggestion on another thread, I checked the battery door latch detector and found that it was missing a minuscule part. Superglued the thing in its “closed” position and it works ! Of course, my new screen doesn’t (dark and over saturated images, visual artifacts). Don’t order Chinese, people.
Dear Alexandre Berrou I have the sale problem of not turning on after dismantling to substitute broken lens. Could you take o photo or describe better this missing piece you mentioned I can’t see
