last time i had an odd start up issue it was either the sd card not seated correctly or the battery door not quite closed (sorry cant remember which)

take everything out and add in again ... and/ or try without the sd card

I have tried those. Actually, when the battery door or SD card door are not closed properly, the light does not even switch on. I have also tried with various SD cards and with new battery and AC battery and with 'take everything out and rest before putting everything back in again'.

My question is if anyone can recognise the green flashing light issue (maybe a canon technician) - e.g. if this is the sign of a bricked motherboard.

I'm sure Canon has the info, but I doubt they'll freely give it to you.  I would check with independant camera repair shops and see if they have the info and are willing to share.
