I've tried every kind of twisting rotating etc to eventually get back some contact, but without any success. Now, if I am lucky that it is only a loose contact, maybe one could fix it when opening the whole thing. Hence my question if someone has ever opened this camera, as I'm a bit afraid of breaking it when I try to do so, not being able to put it back together again.

(PC1304)]]> I've unscrewed the outside case of my PowerShot and can't find out which screw should be in their original place... There was too many types of screws and even different threads for the same length...

p.s. My camera model is PC1304.

Update (10/21/2017)

These parts are the one I've unscrewed.

to coax it open after a long ordeal with a tiny screwdriver. Battery leak had damaged the terminals on the inside of that door. I cleaned them as well as I could but one of them is very badly corroded. It easily detatched fro the door but won’t fit securely back. Can I replace the door itself?
