Does not power on any more...

Hello!

I opened my Canon IXUS 800is (also knows as PowerShot SD700 in other countries) and fixed a little

problem with the gearing.

After that it worked fine, I made some testpictures.

After putting on the two case parts again, the camera did not turn on again.
No beep, no click, no nothing. Dead.

What I have already tried is the following:
- opened it again and checked correct assembling, OK
- checked batterie and contacts, OK
- removed batterie and buffer batterie for a while

In eBay Germany and Austria there are guys offering a repair of especially this type of camera if it

does not power on. So I guess it is a known error and maybe fixed easily, if you know how.

Is anybody able to help me please? Thanks a lot!
Malte

Well, I'm thinking there's now a short somewhere or maybe even some moisture has gotten into it, causing the camera to short out. You can try putting the camera inside a zliplock with a cup of uncooked rice. The rice will act as a dessicant to draw out the moisture from the air. But chances are, by working on it yourself you may have inadvertently bricked it.
