Einleitung

This guide will take you through the steps needed to replace the Digital Image Sensor in your Cannon PowerShotSX150 IS. This can be used to fix blurry images if your problem appears to be the Digital Image Sensor.

    • Locate the battery cover on the bottom of the camera.

    • Slide the battery compartment cover the direction the arrow is pointing to open the compartment.

    • Remove batteries.

    Very useful information and pictures, although with a couple of omissions noted in the comments. (Kind of like getting a recipe from your favorite chef who always seems to leave out one or two of the key ingredients.)

    Eventually, if you go slowly, you will get all of the screws out. Just take pictures or make a drawing as you go along so that you know which screws go where when you reassemble. I learned quite a bit about what makes this lens jam and may not have to go quite so deep in to the camera the next time I’m trying to fix a jam.

    • Remove the two 2mm screws above the screen using the size J000 screwdriver.

    • Remove the two 5mm screws from the side of the camera with the J000 head screw driver.

    • Using the same screwdriver, remove the one 5mm screw from the other side of the camera located under the A/V Out flap.

    • Remove two 4mm screws from the bottom of the camera with the J000 head screw driver.

    • Remove the three 3mm screws using the size J000 screw driver from the button plate.

    • Gently flip up the flex ribbon lock and remove the flex ribbon using tweezers.

    • Move the button plate out of the way.

    • There is a black flex ribbon lock that must be lifted and unlocked with your tweezers before this flex ribbon will detach.

    • Any small tear could ruin the flex ribbon. Be very gentle while removing it.

    • Gently lift the lock and detach the flex ribbon from the circuit board with the tweezers.

    In each of the flex ribbons there is a tiny hole just outside of the connector. In stead of possible damage from the tweezers try using a small dental pick to gently pull the ribbon out of the connector. It pulls from the center and didn’t seem to damage the ribbon in any way.

    • Remove the two 2mm screws from the bottom of the screen with the size J000 screw driver.

    • You can then lift the screen out of place and set it aside.

    The left screw that is circled is in correct. The correct screw is the one just to the right of it.

    • With the J000 Philips head screwdriver, remove the two 2mm screws from under the flash.

    • Using the same screwdriver, remove the two 5mm screws from the bottom. One is under the battery door.

    • With the same screwdriver, remove the 2mm screw at the top of the metal plate.

    • Gently detach the flex ribbon with your tweezers before removing the front plate.

    The metal loop that a camera strap passes through is secured with a 5 mm screw that must be removed before the front plate can be detached.

    • Using the J000 Philips head screwdriver, remove the four 7mm screws from the silver panel.

    • Remove the two 5mm screws.

    • Remove the one 3 mm screw.

    • Using the same screwdriver, remove the 3mm screw from the top of the camera.

    • Pull the panel off and set it aside.

    The red (7 mm) and orange (5 mm) circles at the top right quadrant of the silver panel should be swapped.

    The red circle at the bottom left quadrant of the silver panel is around a plastic post, not a screw. It should be around the screw that has an orange circle around it in the same quadrant.

    The second 5 mm screw that should be circled in orange is just to the right and slightly lower than the screw that is circled in red in the bottom right quadrant.

    To remove the panel, remove a 5mm screw on the right side of the camera.

    • Remove the three 2 mm screws from around the sensor.

    • Pull the sensor away.

    I’m a little confused—since this is a how-to replace the sensor guide, I’d expect some info on where & how to obtain the replacement part—and a step or two about putting it in. As is, this guide leaves me up in the air. (I should be clear: I am looking at this guide out of interest—I own this camera—but I am not needing to do this repair).
