One way is to check S2 and "change batteries" on the net. There is another battery at the side of the battery room! Cr1220, very common and cheap. See the same in the SX1, and maybe in the S3 and SX20. Maybe it can outlive the G10, where the battery is full after a long time. Well, it's now in the G12..... Maybe put them with the S95 and S100 and the 3 Ixuses... And fix the faulty G12 with the lens out...and SX3 and SX1 faulty screens.

Well, I put in the small battery from S3, it worked there. Did not work in S2! Blew some air, no change.  Electro spray maybe, and if no result.....
