I plugged my 310hs into my TV to watch a video yesterday and apparently the HDMI cable was just too interesting to my 20-month-old. She gave it a tug and before I could catch it my camera fell (less than 3 feet) to the hardwood floor. I had always thought the lens assembly seemed fragile, and my fears were apparently founded.

The damage isn't terrible. The lens still retracts and extends normally, there seems to be no internal physical damage and it still takes photos as good as ever. The problem, as witnessed by the photos below, is that the lens cap assembly fell off.
My question is does anybody know of a repair manual of any sort for this camera? I was hoping for something like ifixit for instance, but I've done some quick internet searches to no avail. I also emailed Canon but I'm certain they'll just tell me to send it in which I'd rather not do. I plan on taking it into the camera store to see what they can do when I get free time, but who knows when that will be.
Until then, any ideas? Thanks in advance!
