Hi lads,

My sister recently fecked off to Australia and left her Canon Powershot SX10IS behind since it's broken and she has some other monster of a camera to jug about with her.
Anyway, the camera stopped working recently before she left (won't power on and no explanation as to why) so Im wondering is there anywhere I could bring it to get it looked at?? If I could get it fixed for relatively cheap, it would leave me with a half decent camera for taking pics at shows or working on cars etc.

Cheers,
Ciaran

This does work sometimes like if there is a tiny bit of grit stuck in the lens or something.

Is it still under warranty by any chance.

Something similiar happened with my camera not so long ago and I got a new model free under warranty.

Or if you're feeling brave you could google some repair guides.

Stupid question did you try charging batteries (or make sure they are holding charge).

Image Supply Systems in Dublin are Canon repair agents.

Yeah tried fresh batteries but no joy unfortunately. I might give them a shout and see what they think, thanks for the help
