Hi unfortunately I don't have access to the camera but from what I can remember there's a small spring that makes it pop up when you push the button. It might have come off inside or gotten stuck. You will have to take it apart to find out. After you open it there's a little cover holding the spring in place on the side of the camera. Be careful when removing this as you could lose the spring. Hope this solves your issue 🤞
Hello, my camera flash suddenly stopped working and I ordered a new flash but after installing the new flash the flash option from the camera menu can not be activated and it does not matter if I choose a manual, auto or any other option. The flash can not be activated. Do you have any suggestions ? I will very highly appreciate your help. Thank you so much for your help
Hi that's a strange issue, is the cable connected properly inside, have you tried the broken one to see if it pops up. It's possible that the new one could be faulty. Is the spring put back in place for it as that might cause an issue too. Apart from that I'm not sure. I don't think they are like mobile phones as they aren't programmed to the camera 🤔
Your welcome I'm pleased it was of some help. Sony make a similar camera an suposidly it's better at keeping the dust out. You seem to have an interesting channel, il watch some of your videos later 🙂
Hi thanks for your question, from what I can remember there is a little metal plate that holds the battery door and spring in place. As for getting a replacement I don't know, you might have to Google spare parts for it.
it's really difficult to remove those glue of all the five positions. Is there any easier way to remove those ? because it's not that you just detach the glue from the lens and you are good to go ! NO YOU HAVE COMPLETELY REMOVE THE GLUE SO THAT YOU CAN ROTATE THE LENS TO REMOVE IT.
Thanks for your question, yeah it's quite hard to remove. I used a small flat head screwdriver an gouged at it. Once it starts to budge it came out in a small lump. Watch you don't slip an slice your finger tho. I used b7000 glue as it's easy to remove if you need to do it again.
@@pritambiswas4185 o dear, my small screw driver is only about 1mm wide. You could always try rubbing alcohol if you have any. It might help to soften it.
Lol yeah I know the feeling, it's not just the amount of screws it's getting them in the right place after 😁. The hardest part if forgetting how expensive it is 😊
Apologies for the late reply, I'm pleased you found my video useful. I didn't actually clean the gear. I had to extend the lens fully so it would re align itself. The camera was dropped on the lense and it had jumped some teeth, the motor didn't know how far in or out it was. Hope that makes sense. If you did want to clean it I would just use some IPA and a toothbrush and then re greece after but be careful you don't get any on the sensor 🙂
Hi thanks for your question. Looking at them I would say it would be a similar process as they almost look identical. You may find some screws might be in different places but as long as you remember where they all came from will help. Try taking photos on a phone if that helps. If it's the front of the lense that needs cleaning then it should be exactly the same.
Thanks for your comment, it would be interesting to know if it helped people fix their cameras. I found that if I didn't think how much the camera cost it was easy to rip apart. I'm also surprised that I didn't have any screws left over 😂
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me clear an issue with the six piece lens cover after they became immobilized. This saved me some cash!
You're very welcome, I'm pleased my video was able to help you 😊
Hi. Great video. My flash no longer pops up when i push the switch down. Would you happen to look know what might be causing this?

I’ve been looking at cameras thanks!👍

So clever Rob, thanks for showing us this, would it be similar to other models of the Canon Powershot?
Thanks Chris. I would assume so they all look the same from the outside. The same technique would apply to other makes.
Eek. Watching now Rob 🤔🧐😮
Same haha 😂😅👍
Thanks, i hope it helps others with similar issues. I welcome your thoughts after. Apologies for the filming I had to do it via my phone 😊
@@RobsUrbanExploring it sure will Rob. I’ll send it to you 😘
@@ALWResearchTeam lol il be more than happy to 😊
Is there a way to detach or replace the battery door latch ?
My canon g7x battery door won’t close and it keeps popping open
I have the replacement part but there’s no way for me to remove the old one

@@QueenethHenshaw unfortunately Im just going from memory as it wasn't my camera. But it should be easy to spot once you remove the bottom plate.

@@RobsUrbanExploring I will try again then . Actually only half the glue has come out and now this is even more difficult to handle

@@RobsUrbanExploring thank you so much for your help n response so quick 🤍
@@pritambiswas4185 your very welcome, hopefully you manage to get it fixed 😊
Looks complicated I could have took it apart but douth seriously I could have gotten it back together and it would still work...take care brother

Lol yeah been there 😁 i had to take it apart again as I didn't quite fix the lens first time, so I thaught I would make a video to help others.
Waw 😮this is intense 😂😂😂😂
O yeah 😁, you nearly didn't have it back 😂😂😂
@@RobsUrbanExploring 😂😂😂 you are a genius Rob... No doubt about about that
Lol I'm pleased I could help 😁
