There is a black dot on the bottom left hand corner of my Canon Powershot A480. I think it's sensor dust but don't know how to remove it. Can someone help me?

Canon PowerShot A480: Why is it not working?

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 23:49:24 -0700

I just recently found an old digi cam, i tried turning it on but it says i need to change the batteries, simple, but when i bought new batteries it still showed the “Change the batteries” error, i tried turning it on and occasionally it will turn on, the shutters and lens will work, the settings will work, just not the camera itself will work, it will still show the error

Canon PowerShot A480: How do I clean the sensor?

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 09:38:22 -0700

I have a dark spot in bottom left corner of every picture I take (it’s not the screen I did check that by uploading the photos to my mobile phone) and was now thinking about trying to disassemble the camera and cleaning the sensor. Sadly I wasn’t able to find a detailed disassembly online and can only partly imagine how I can approach this repair without 1. destroying the camera and 2. how to move on after removing the display. Any advice or explanation on how to take it further apart will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
