Question
Dear John

I have a Canon Ixus camera. Unfortunately the screen no longer works and the workshop tells me a replacement will cost nearly $200

Do you know a way to solve the problem please?

thanks

Answer
Chris,

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do yourself.  You have to have dedicated test equipment to even figure out exactly what is wrong with the thing.  It could be the computer or the screen itself.  My suggestion is that if it is older than a year or two, cut your loses and buy a new one.  The days of really fixing old cameras is over.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
