Thank you for this guide. I managed to strip one of the screws holding down the control dial and had to drill it out -- don't send a software engineer to do a hardware job :-) . I also found re-inserting the cables into the sockets pretty painful.

Overall it was a pretty easy fix. Your guide and $9 on eBay (http://r.ebay.com/jbyswX) saved me a $150 repair from Canon.

Thanks again.

No wonder step 6 - the part that says 'gently lift the flap' is written in red. The 'flap' is glued onto the camera, and 'lifting' it simply breaks it off the camera, never to be returned. It was all going so well until this point; now I have to take/send it to an engineer and hope it can be fixed. I would ignore this part!

Thank you for this excellent guide. I had a pressure popped LCD screen rendering the camera useless! However, your guide and £14.99 for an Amazon spare part, plus about 20 minutes following your guide and I have a fully working camera. Those ribbon cable are tricky though!

simplement bravo de France ! c’est excellent !

Be careful step 5 when you reconnect the ribbon to the dial. it may be misinserted (just under the right place and the screen won’t work.

Step 5 seems simple but it is critical. I had a lens problem but I had to detach the screen. I managed to put the camera back together alright but when I was done the camera would work but the screen wouldn't come on. I finally read the remark on this page about step number 5 so I opened the back up and used some tweezers to detach the ribbon cable that is connected to the dial panel. Then looked closely and reattached the ribbon cable in exactly the right place. That was it! When I turned the camera on the LCD screen turned on as well. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this but I have a problem with the screws. They got damaged when I took them out, and I need to get new ones, but I can’t find a place to get this exact size. Any advice?

I used this info to replace my screen. The ribbon connectors were very tiny and one on the back was scary as it did not look as if it would go back in but all was well. I did end up with a screw leftover but the camera works fine. It was very helpful to have the right tools. I have made a video on my youtube channel recommending your site to others who need to fix their small electronics.

Great little tutorial. Couple suggestions.

The little holes in the ends of the ribbon cables can be used to remove/insert them via a dental pick or thin plastic rod. That’s what they’re for. Works better than tweezers. Tweezers can position, the pick can push. These holes can be seen in step 6.

In step 4 only the two screws holding the dial need to be removed. For opening the socket clamps, a plastic spudger is much better than tweezers. Less possibility of damage.

More important, underneath the ribbon cable for the back screen right where it attaches to the socket is a line of capacitors. This line for some reason picks up whatever moisture and contaminants that get into the camera. A little can be seen on the back of the cable in the second picture on Step 9. The caps are just under the ribbon cable end in the illustration. Use some 99% isopropyl alcohol and a camel’s hair brush and clean the caps and the ribbon cable end. DON”T splash it around!

Followed your instructions. Managed to changed the LCD screen for my Canon S100. First time I try this kind of technical stuff, esp on a camera. Have to observe, think through then do. Did not understand the flip the flap part with some fumbling about to realize it is to open, release the cable and then flip it back to close, lock it in place. Inserting the cables was the difficult part Really grateful for your guide. Saved me $$$ Got the LCD online for only a couple of bucks.
