I have a Canon PowerShot SD750, and now when I turn it on, the screen is blank. I'm sure it has something to do with the lens because I can still the the display icons. I tried to take a picture and it was just blank, also. I didn't drop it or damage it in any way - one minute it worked and the next it didn't.

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

Hi,

If this is the case, the camera might have internal damage. Might be better to send it back to Canon delears/shop for repair. Please try below link

My display screen in black but i can see all other symbols on the display.

It sounds like your display is working, but not getting a signal from the sensor. When you take a picture and open it on your computer, is it blank? If so there is either something blocking the lens (possibly the shutter) or the sensor is not working. If you get a picture on your computer, then it may be something loose in the camera connection between the sensor and the LCD. You can buy a working camera (the same SD750) for less than $50 on ebay I am sorry to say, but it would cost more to fix your camera.

I dropped my Canon PowerShot SD750. the lens comes out half way

Sorry, but there is no DIY fix for the lens problem, and any attempts at homebrew repair will likely worsen the problem. The camera needs professional repair, so I suggest that you take it to a camera shop (not the camera department at a large store) or contact Canon customer service via the Canon.com web site. Be sure to get a firm price before committing to repairs -- the cost to fix it may be close to the price of a new camera, and repairs typically only carry a 30-day warranty.

Black Screen on Canon PowerShot SD750

Probably bad CCD. !!! Check if there is possibility of free of charge repair !!! Many models are repaired free with CCD broken, even warranty time is passed.

My sd750 will not start up

Does the lens cover move when you do this? If it doesn't, it sounds like that might be the problem.

Canon camera when turned on, lens will not

Hi

What you are seeing is a generic error message, starting your camera again won't do anything unfortunately.

You need to replace the lens, we have your lens repair available on our site for about $75! If we can help please let us know.

Turn on camera but the lcd sceen is black

I tried all the solutions offered on the net and none worked except one. It simply said "hit the camera with the palm of your hand" (when it is on) and the screen will return. I thought, well I have nothing to lose and so I hit it on the side and sure enough the LCD is again working !!! Contacted Canon prior to this and they had no idea but suggested I send it in to be repaired at a cose of $163.50 Australian. Pleasant staff they have, but no help in solving what looks like a common problem of Canon cameras. I will have second thoughts purchasing Canon from here on in.
