Unhappy Canon IXUS700 digital camera repair,where are the fuses? help, heres pics.

Hi there.

I have a 7mp Canon IXUS 700, it was dropped by my brother. So cant be fixed under warranty....they(canon) want $550 to fix it! 450 at another shop.

Its worth about $700 so not woth fixing. I pulled it apart, and got it going again, however the zoom wasnt working, or the flash. I should have been happy with that and left it alone. but, i had another Idea on how to fix the zoom, so did that, put it back together, turned it on, had the lens motor go for a bit to long, it went back in though, and now cant get any power at all. Button does nothing. Even when the lens or zoom isnt working, the power would work, and an E18 lens error would come up on the screen. Now nothing at all.

So, something must have blown, like a fuse!?

I looked and found a schematic diagram for the camera after a long search!

Got this :


its not clear to me what its pointing at.
Heres pics of these circuit boards its showing. Anyone know what is a fuse?


So when I know whats what, I can use my multimeter and look to see if theres still a connection inside the fuse. And order new ones from thefotogeeks.com

Thanks for helping!

I really want to have it at least turning on :-)

Heres a pic of it pulled apart. Ive had it in what must be near 100 bits!!

I think I know whats going on! The diagram shows the fuse in the air, and points to the gap where it goes!!! lol.

I tested the one on the small board and there is a connection through it, and on the other there is no connection! So I guess thats my problem.


Anyone else had a play fixing things like that?! Its quite enjoyable :-)
