My SD14 repair work
3

Here's what the insides of a SD14 look like.
It failed from a mirror lock up and was told it would be about $300 to fix.

I found the problem to be that a little mirror return spring slid out of position and prevented the mirror from coming back down. I put a drop of rubber cement on the spring so it won't happen again.

There is a lot of stuff inside one of these cameras and it's is really amazing they can make them as reliable as they are.
I found the instructions on how to get it apart here.
