Isn't it always the case that when you really need a device to work, there's something wrong with it? During a recent trip to Mexico, my Canon PowerShot's three-inch LCD screen started flickering when I had it in picture mode. Because it doesn't have an old-school view finder, I'm heavily dependent on the LCD screen (or I can guesstimate where my mom's head would end up in the photo). After some searching on the Internet, I came across this site that gave me some helpful info about my screen's issues. The Camera Repair Blog is great because it provides you with some helpful DIY camera repair advice so you know what to do when you need to fix your camera, instead of shelling out for a new one. BTW, looks like I have a faulty CCD image sensor — good times indeed.

Thank you GeekSugar!
My first camera broke when I was in Europe, and when I took it to the camera repair place, they said it would be $200 to fix the broken "computer" inside because the lens wouldnt retract (and wouldnt turn on). The warranty had already run out, so I was majorly bummed.
I dug it out of the closet (not sure why I kept it for more than a year!) and to my suprise, the "paper in lens" trick WORKED!! Apparently there was something stuck in the lens (sand, maybe?). I bought a new camera already with better specs, but I will be giving the camera to my little brother to enjoy!
This site is pure genius, thank you for sharing! You've made my week!
