PowerShot G7 X Mark II: Bought used. Significant liquid damage. Black and green images

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 14:21:14 -0700

I’ve replaced mother board and all corroded ribbon cables. Every thing works except for the images and on the screen is half black and half green. I think the lens’s surrounding electronics got also damaged. Not sure if anyone has this problem.

Canon PowerShot A80: No shutter sound and completely black images

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 08:03:37 -0700

Hello, I’m using a Canon PowerShot A80 and recently encountered an issue with the camera.

Previously, I could hear a distinct “click” sound when taking photos, but now there is no shutter sound at all. When I try to take pictures, the resulting images are completely black. However, the camera itself still powers on normally, the menu displays correctly, and I can view previously taken photos without any problem.

Because of this, I suspect that the shutter might be stuck closed or not functioning properly. I also tried basic troubleshooting such as restarting the camera, removing the batteries, and testing in different lighting conditions, but the issue persists.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem with this model or similar cameras?

Is this likely a shutter failure, and is there any non-invasive way to fix it without fully disassembling the camera?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55: Cybershot E91:01 Flash problem

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:41:24 -0700

I got this camera with a broken screen and a stuck lens. I replaced both with working parts and reassembled everything. The camera can take photos, but the flash doesn’t work.

When I half-press the shutter button, the flash indicator blinks for a while, then an E:91:01 error appears and the camera takes the photo without using the flash.

I replaced the entire flash assembly, but that didn’t fix the issue. I also tried replacing the main motherboard, the flex cable, and even the whole casing. I’ve practically replaced almost the entire camera, but the problem is still there.

I also tested it with another flash assembly that I know works. When I inserted the battery and turned the camera on, the flash fired once by itself on the date/time setup screen, without pressing the shutter. After that, it didn’t fire again.

Does anyone have any ideas what I should check next?

Nikon Coolpix L26 Camera: Is there a way to repair the buttons/motherboard

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 13:36:05 -0700

I accidentally stored mine with the batteries and they exploded at some point leaking acid everywhere. I’ve fully opened it up and cleaned as much as possible but the buttons are stuck. Is there any way to make it functioning again? Some of them do feel like they should work while others are completely stuck. But the camera isn’t responding to any button other than on/off right now. It’s stuck in the setting the date menu

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100: My old sony cybershot's LCD isn't working properly.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:05:20 -0700

As you can see, it looks as if the brightness had been turned up super high (IDK what exactly this problem is called). I have confirmed it's just the screen. The photos are fine. I can still make out some stuff when I view the camera at an angle, with the bottom of the camera facing me.

I tried factory resetting it using the "Initialize" option but that didn't help. Also tried removing and re-seating the LCD ribbon cable. Any chance I can get away with not having to replace the screen?

Panasonic DMC-FZ200: LCD backlight not working.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 23:45:13 -0700

I am trying to fix the backlight on the LCD of my Lumix DMC-FZ200. I have used a multi meter to check for voltage on pin 6 of connector FP9003 based on page 57 of the Panasonic service guide. I am not seeing any voltage on pin 6, I am thinking that the backlight fuse has blown but seem to be struggling to find where the fuse is located on the main board. I am quite new to this so really hoping someone can possibly point me in the right direction. Thank you.
