Where can I find details of how to replace the LCD on my PowerShot G5? I have the replacement LCD but don't want to damage it in replacement.

Yes of course. Take it to your local Canon Service Centre.

Replace the Cover as it could damage the lenses. Go to Cannon Custer Support for instruction on how to assemeble or disassemble parts.

did you look at the ifixit.com website? Not sure they already did the G5, but you never know.

There is a small ribbon cable that has been damaged.

If your LCD doesn't light up then it's either the backlight or the LCD, you can open up the camera and check the cables before buying any parts. Some LCD screens come with the backlight, some don't; not sure if this one does or not.

IF it was water damage, you probably have corrosion on the main PCB and won't be able to fix it without replacing the board... open it up and check for corrosion!

Hope this helps.

Very simple fix. Open the covering on the lcd screen and also remove covering that is between the camera and screen. There is a wire that goes from the lcd screen to the camera. It came out from all the twisting of screen when opening and closing. Carefully put that back in. Google keywords like "lcd g5 fix" etc. for more detailed description.

Take out the battery and put it back and than recharge again. Some times in case of G5 it happens that the camera battery is not properly charged and the indicator shows that its fully charged (i.e. Green light) In such cases battery need to be taken out and than put back again and recharged
