By now this entire camera can be purchased for $15 on eBay – yet, it’s dear to my Dad. I’ve got the new LCD screen for about $12 and replaced the old broken one based on your post. No problem at all – went smooth. Thanks so much!

Made it super easy for me. I found a parts camera with a lens error, so i swapped the whole backlight and LCD.
The notes on inserting the ribbon deeply were a big help.

“1. My screen just shows white or gray. (E.g. white screen, white display). What did I do wrong?
A. The ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the circuit board was not inserted deeply enough. The end of the ribbon cable has a narrow portion, then a very small much wider portion with two holes at either end, then it narrows again. The very tip should be inserted into the “socket” deeply enough that the wider portion is pressed right up against the “socket.” Physically, it cannot be inserted more deeply.
It may help you to use two wooden or plastic toothpicks, one in each of the small holes at the end of the cable, to push the cable into the socket.” (http://www.fixya.com/support/t103717-sd400_broken_screen)

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.

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.

Your description is very interesting.
Yesterday I tried ti change the display
oy my CANON IXUS i5 but when I disassembled
the display I confused the order of the
small display. They are 5, plastic, transparent
and white.
Can you tell me please the correct order
to assemble these parts and on the top
the new dispaly?
Please…

It’s much appreciated and saved me a new camera, although shipping on parts to Switzerland prob only saved me around $50 after the stupid F&^’n import taxes here.

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.

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.

Thanks again
Dennis
