Re: Canon Powershot G11 power problem

Thank you for your reply !

Well, I was also (but didn't want to) thinking about a bad motherboard.

I don't know if I just replace the motherboard, It would cos me around 35 USD. Opening it and putting my hands in doesn't scare me at all.

I'm not 100% sure it would work, but then there is no reason for it not to, as the battery is directly connected to it, and there's no other circuit board in it.

Do you think it is worth trying ? To be honest, I prefer to keep my old one and try to repair it as long as I can, than to buy a poor quality brand new copy of it.

Otherwise, what would you consider a decent second hand cheap compact, for someone who is just taking photos of buses. I'd like to spend 250USD or less. Also considering that I can replace any damaged/broken part on more or less any kind of device.

I was thinking about a G7X (Mark I), they seem to sometimes go for quite low prices on ebay just because the screen is broken.
