Canon G9 wont power up.

Hi my G9 wont power up. I know its not from the loose screws issue. It happened after i tried to put thread locker on all screws inside. When i was reattaching the ccd sensor to the main board their was a bright flash and now it wont work. Bought a new main board straight from canon and it still doesnt work. Any help is appreciated thank you.

The reason it won't work is because when you went in to fix it, you shorted out the flash. That's what the flash was that you saw when you reconnected it to the main board. It's best not to open these and try to work on them yourself. There are steps to take when servicing electronics and it sounds like you forgot to drain the capacitor first. I'd suggest to go this site and see if they can help you www.camerasandparts.com They're very knowledgable with the Canon cameras and I'm sure they can get working just right again or maybe they can tell you the part you need to fix what you did when you were working on it.

SOURCE: My Canon g9 is having

You likely have loose screws inside the camera which is a really common problem on these models. That's mostly often causes this no power thing on the G9 as it shorts something out inside of the camera. An excellent place to get the G9 repaired is camerasandparts.com They have service packages on their site and one of them is for the G9 with no power. That site is excellent for repairs on the Powershot cameras.

The place for service on these is www.camerasandparts.com They only service the Canon Powershots and they are excellent for help with these. The nice thing with them is they do the fix to those internal screws so it doesn't re-occur on the camera. If you need help with a Powershot problem, they're the place. They have your Canon G9 no power service on their site. All the best looking after it, there great if you need help with one of these.

G9 has no power and the battery is good; what's wrong>?

Most of the time when a Canon G9 has no power, it almost always has the loose screw syndrome inside the camera. When the screws inside come loose, they cause a short and the camera typically has no power at that point. The good news is it's not too expensive to have fixed.
There's a great shop that just specializes in the Canon Powershots and is amazing for this G9 no power problem. The site is: www.camerasandparts.com They charge $89 total for the parts, labor, and return shipping regardless of what is causing the no power problem. Their flat-rate service packages are pretty tough to beat but they only service powershots. The neat thing with them is they include all of the service for the camera at the time of the repair and they also perform the no power correction automatically which needs to be done so this doesn't keep happening. For those that need help with this problem, they're fantastic for service on these cameras.

My canon g9 was on the lense extended and from then on it will not turn on again

The Canon G9 has a design defect, two screws fall out inside the camera and short out the fuse. If you've never had it fixed for no power before this is most likely what has happened to your camera.

Do a Google search for "canon g9 no power repair" and you will see a full repair service including return shipping of your camera for just $85.

Hope this helps!

No power?

You just need to have the camera serviced for this no power problem. This is common on the G9 but there's a correction that can be done so this problem never happens again. It has to do with two loose screws in the camera that can result in a short and no power on the G7 and the G9 cameras. If you go to: www.camerasandparts.com they specialize in Service for the Canon Powershots and they are amazing if you need service for one of these. They actually have this exact fix available on their site for your model so you can get it taken care of for very little and have the camera serviced up completely at the same time. Try that site, that's where a lot of people go for help with the Powershots, good luck with it.

My Cannon G9 digital camera wont power up even though I have a fully charged battery?

This is usually from a loose screw inside the camera, a screw inside the camera can come loose and cause a short which is very common on the G9. If you go to: www.camerasandparts.com all they deal with is service for the Canon Powershots. They're great if you need a hand with one of these and they automatically do the no power correction on the G7's and the G9's they service which is nice. They are about the least expensive out there at $89 and they include the service and the shipping back. The best part, they do excellent work which is a must for me. Hope that helps you some.
