Now if only the new screen would work. I reset the connection 5 times. Finally gave up and went out and bought a new camera and threw the old in the trash. Just wasted another $50 trying to fix an old camera. The instructions were great.

I completely disassembled to replace the lens unit. Very tricky and many screws and small components easily broken and damaged. Just beware that the small ribbon cable connector retaining gates are extremely fragile and easy to break. As in my case , if you break them you probably need to buy a new board.

When I had mine sent to them for repair, it was fixed and sent back to me in less than a week. That's pretty awesome. I also prefer doing that, instead of fixing it myself.

Mishaps along the way were not being able to get the 7th screw out and as a result the old screen cable broke when pulling through. However by feeding a piece of parcel ribbon through the gap and slightly flexing the backlight I was able eventually to pull the new screen cable through.

I ordered the LCD online for about $45 from Amazon and it actually works. The tricky part for me was the post it ripped. I suggest using a stronger piece of paper. I had to take the carriage off and work the lens ribbon through with tweesers. BUT, it worked and I got my camera back. Thanks for these very detailed instructions!!!

I have a sd400 and it help to have these tips. One thing I did that scared me at first was pull the connector to the back lite loose, but, it plugged in the same way the screen did and it was not a problem. It was a little trickey getting the screen disconnected from the back lite but, that was the only problem.

The LCD screen cost me $25 shipped, for a grand total of $59 for this nice camera. I followed your directions for the SD400, and the only other thing I had to do was remove two screws holding the camera mount base on. That let me remove the cable without the need of paper and tape to thread the new cable in. Thanks, I just changed the LCD screen on a SD450 I picked up on E bay for $34 shipped.

I bought a parts camera on Ebay for $29 with a bad motherboard but good screen. I replaced the whole backlight\screen assembly instead of separating the two. That involved one more tiny ribbon cable but was doable with patience. Really appreciate the help, thanks. I Just fixed my SD400 with a broken screen (keys in my pocket broke it!)

I've just fixed my camera using your instructions! I'm over the moon. I paid £260 for my camera about 4 years ago. I was quoted £190 for equivalent replacement last week and "£170 could be more" to repair it from a camera shop that wasn't at all keen to do it. In contrast I bought the replacement screen from ebay for £28.99 and didn't pay for shipping took a couple of weeks to arrive from china though. So I think I've saved at least £140! thanks :) I've just fitted it and it works a treat. I used sellotape instead of post it note as suggested in comments above. Although now I look at it the dental floss method looks interesting. it was a bit fiddly at times but it is doable. Thank you so much for posting this.
