Canon PowerShot SX280 HS: Doesn't recognize fully charged battery

Sat, 18 Mar 2017 06:35:00 -0700

the camera does not recognize fully charged batteries. I have purchased a replacement battery thinking that the battery may have been the problem, but the camera does not recognize either. Even with two fully charged batteries I am unable to take a photo.

Canon PowerShot SX280 HS: Water damage from submerging.

I sat in a river with my camera in my pocket. No LCD screen now. It sounds like it is taking pictures since I dried it out, but nothing transfers to the memory card. Is it repairable, or am I better off replacing the camera?

My SX280 cant decide which way up it is and I suspect its the gyro or mems sensor that is at fault. Though I dont know its location within the camera, any ideas folks?

Canon PowerShot SX280 HS: Stuck Camera Lens Cover

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 07:12:32 -0700

The camera lens cover no longer opens when the camera is switched on. Tried replacing and removing battery powering down when lens extended. Reset to factory defaults doesn't make any difference. Tried lightly brushing the cover and using a hoover close by to remove any "specks" of dust / debris that may be preventing the mechanism working. You can easily move both halves of the cover assembly manually with a soft brush so it is not 'jammed' in that sense.

Can I do something to fix the screen? Everything else on the Canon Powershot SX280 HS seems to work, but this white screen makes the camera unusable?
