Can you fix the waterproof case for an ixus 690 which I use when scuba diving. A tiny plastic nipple which makes contact with the power button has gone AWOL. Can you fix it? Also if I replaced the 960 with the 330 can I use the same waterproof case? Many thanks for your help. Cheers Haj

What model of camera do you have? The plastic "nipple" usually actuates a push switch. If you have the technical ability, you could bypass the switch, but don't try it unless you are really sureof what you are doing.

Then unless you can fabricate a total replacement part (doesn't have to look good, just functional) then your camera is now junk.
Unfortunately, except for semi-professional models, cameras are simply not designed to be repaired so spare parts support is very poor. Budget models such as yours are really only expected to last a maximum of around three years, some even less. You'll find very few digital cameras of any kind which have not suffered a terminal fault after around six years.
Faults like the one which you have are very unfortunate, but if they were better made then they would cost far more; due to the rapid advance of digital photographic technology there's simply no way that mass consumers will pay more for a gadget which is soon outdated..

No, the IXUS 50 is not waterproof, you cannot use it underwater without an underwater housing.
