Re: Canon G12: how to repair a broken sensor

Hello Yetanfou

Thank you for this thread. i'm happy to have found some information, and a bit impressed of your knowledge.

My camera has exactly the same problem with the sensor, and when i press on the back-cover its "short-time" solved.

Actually i have no 340 *C heating system and so i'm looking for the physical solution. the problem is, that i dont find out where to put the thing to set the contact. I mean, when i press on the back cover, it makes proper photos. but, with the open casing i can press anywhere while triggering, the photos come with the known purple stripes. and then i close the casing (even whitout the screws), and the pressure in the center of the back-cover solves the problem again.

can't i just set a little piece of plastic inside, which presses the right point? and can you tell me on which point the pressure has to come?

This (red arrow) is the plug from the sensor i think. but pressure on it has no effect...

thanks already... and greetings from trogen (CH)
