Einleitung

This guide will guide you through replacing the motherboard/ circuit board in your Canon Powershot SX150 IS. This will help you fix any major issues with the camera function, if there seems to be no problems with the other hardware.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • The green-colored circuit board is connected to the camera with a total of four flex ribbons.

    • The three flex ribbons on the right have locking latches that need to be unlatched before removing flex ribbons. Unlatch all three latches and then remove flex ribbons using tweezers.

    • The fourth flex ribbon needs to be carefully unplugged using tweezers.

    • Once all four flex ribbons are unplugged the green motherboard is free for removal.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

This procedure is bogus. It's more or less ok until the last step: "Once all four flex ribbons are unplugged the green motherboard is free for removal." WRONG! The mainboard is still connected to the battery case, flash module and cmos battery with wires soldered to it. Good luck with that unless you're an expert solderer. I got sucked in thinking I could swap the mainboard from a for-parts sx150is into one with a flakey USB port. Waste of time.
