Introduction

Passez à l'étape 1

This guide will assist in replacing the motherboard for the Canon Powershot A720 IS. Due to the difficulty of this project, it is important to be sure that the motherboard is what needs to be replaced. Improperly handling the motherboard can potentially result in permanent damage to the camera or the motherboard. To reduce the risk, an anti-static bracelet should be used.
