Hi,
had the same problems with a sticky shutter of a Canon S2
IS. I tried the mentioned fix only 4 times and now the
camera is working again. Thx very much for help.

They wanted $149.00 to fix it. I decided not to pay. I just
got the camera back, I decided to try the fix and it worked
on the third try. Thanks for your help.

Andy,
Who's they, and what camera model did you get working
again with this technique? I'm trying to keep track as I have
a theory that some camera models might be more prone to
this than others.

Hi,I have a Samsung S600 digimax camera, the shutter is
always wide open and the picture taken is over exposed. I
try your method but seems not able to close the shutter.
The longest setting I could set to interrupt is 8s only not
15s for cannon.

hi, I have a canon a550. It fell 12 feet and had a bath but
still worked, and after a year, the shutter became stuck. I
think it is open because pictures tend to be overexposed. I

Here's a Powershot A610, that is renowned for its shutter
problem.
I did steps 1 to 5 about thirty times without success. Then I
slammed it on a wooden table at both sides, bottom and
back; with the camera on, off and during 15" exposure,
until my girlfriend scolded at me to be quiet.
I then hit it as hard against my knee as I could take without
saying "auch", again from all sides, and multiple times.
No success whatsoever.
Canon sucks. I had discussions both with Canon nd their
official, independent repair centre, without any success.
They refuse to take responsibility for this production flaw.

GREAT METHOD, THANKS SO MUCH!!!
I have a Canon Powershot S5 IS, and while in Oxford, my
shutter got stuck. Combining the battery-compartment-
opening method with gentle taps on the lens, I was able to
shake the shutter loose.
My advice is for people to be persistant, don't give up! This
method WILL work!

My Canon Powershot S3IS hasn't had a lot of use in recent
months. This solution worked perfectly in only 7 tries. I
paid $600 for this camera, and that was a lot of saving to
get. Thank-you you are AWESOME!!

Hi,
I have a Canon SD1000 and was wondering what the
setting is for the longest exposure time. Also, is it likely for
this model to experience CCD failure? I honestly can't tell
which of the two problems applies for my camera. Thanks!

Hello,
I have an Canon A80. I had the CCD replaced before.
At first there was still images but it was very dark. Then is
became totally black. When I brought it down to the
customer service center, they said it's a shutter problem
because they don't see the shutter opening and closing. I
asked to to investigate to make sure it's not a CCD issue.
After 2/3 days, they still says it's a shutter problem.
I have tried this simple fix many many many times and it
didn't work.
So I guess my camera is dead forever. Do you have
anymore other suggestion? I'm very keen to open my
camera all the way but I can't figure it out. Any pictures or
diagrams?

Hey thanks for the tips and info. I recently had the same
problem with my Cannon A620 and after a few tries on the
long exposure I got it unstuck!!! Went from a bad day to
back to normal ;)

I have a Canon Powershot S2IS with the black screen. I
tried the fix many many times, never got even a glimmer of
a picture. Tried lightly tapping it on furniture, still nothing.
It's pretty irritating because I've only used it a couple
times. Thanks, anyway.

Hi,
I had an Olympus DIGITAL 800 with a stuck shutter. I
tried cutting the power when taking a picture but that
didn't seem to help too much. I tried a bunch of things but
it finally came unstuck when I turned the flash off, set the
shutter speed at about .5", set it to highspeed picture
taking, held the button in so it was constantly taking
pictures (trying to activate the shutter) and tapped it on its
end(the one where the battery access is) with my hand.
Hope this helps.

i have an older canon power shot a620 and i dont use it

camera on the shutter gets stuck. the first time i got the
dreaded e19 errot and it it cost me a lot of money to fix it.
this time the screen went black but thanks to your amazign

Many thanks Brother/ Sister
My precious little Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital ELPH
has returned to life just as it was bound to the Canon Repair
Shop. Suddenly and mysteriously it had displayed black
screen when attempting to capture snaps and flashing
orange/yellow light above LCD. Everything else was
working including playback of photo/video. I saw your fix
ref: opening battery cover as about to take snap and
...BINGO.....LCD image returns. You just saved me 150.
More to the point, you have allowed precious memories to
be stored for all the family this coming Christmas. 'An

Hi,
I have a Canon Power Shot S3 and the shutter is stuck open
and would not close! I took it to my local camera store, he
tried to tap it on a wood surface a few times, nothing
happened. I then called up Canon in Virgina, they told me I
could send the camera in and it would cost about $130.00
to fix it.
I then read your information about putting the S3 in TV
mode, take a picture and after 7 seconds open the battery

I've been having problems with my Canon EOS digital
rebel. Shutter gets stuck after one shot. The blades don't
quite fall back into place. Have tried all of the battery
pulling fixes, tried this one, and it still didn't work. I've
taken close to 20 000 shots with it, so I have a feeling it's a
mechanical problem.
Any other ideas?

I was about to go on a trip and thought it best to make sure
the camera is 100% and low and behold I have this black
screen issue. Its the Cannon S2IS. I have tried opening the
battery compartment (20+ times) and tapping it but no
avail. Which side is it best to tap it on? and should the
camera be on or off?

I had the same problem with the sticky shutter on the
Canon S2 IS. I tried the fix and it worked after 3 tries.
Thanks!!!!

and worked at the 7 th try..U just saved me a boatload of
