Excellent guide, thank you so much. My camera has an intermittent fault so I should now be able to save a lot of time and money by trying myself to find the possible loose connection inside.

Moisture ring on inside of lens. No way to clean this off. Also, shutter release button gone: no replacement found anywhere.

Thank you SO MUCH. One of our company cameras, a PowerShot G15 had a dead display. A person on the Canonforum…

https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Power...

…recommended disassembling the camera via iFixit instructions for the G16 (slightly different than the G15), unplugging the display, and plugging it back in again…WHICH WORKED. Did the whole thing in about 30 minutes. Awesome. Saved us a lot of money. Very grateful.

Hi,

Could you describe how to disassemble and assemble the lens curtain - th esix leaves and two springs that cover the lens when the lens is retracted into the camera? I’ve tried to assemble it, but end up with the mechanism only closing 2/3rd way. It opens fine. I want to replace my scratched lens with an unscratched one, but the new one is the one with the curtain problem. Thank you!
