Your camera most likely has a short from some screws that get loose inside of these cameras. There's a really good place in the states that only services Powershots. They are not expensive at all and they do wonderful work. It's $89 with them for parts, labor servicing for the camera included. If you're in the states, they give you the free Priority Shipping going back, I'm sure it's more for shipping back to Norway. One of the neat things with them is that not only do they do wonderful work, they include the no power correction on any G9 they service, that way the problem doesn't keep happening. The website for them is: www.camerasandparts.com If you have a Canon Powershot, they're great for help with these cameras. Best of luck with the problem.

The Canon G9 has a design defect, two screws fall out inside the camera and short out the fuse. If you've never had it fixed for no power before this is most likely what has happened to your camera.

Do a Google search for "canon g9 no power repair" and you will see a full repair service including return shipping of your camera for just $85. Return shipping to Norway is extra.

Hope this helps!

My two year old Canon G9 was working fine. I took the battery out to recharge it and now it won't power on - as if the battery is completely dead.

A great place to get help with these G9 no power problems is: www.camerasandparts.com
They just specialize in the service for the Canon Powershot models and they are very familiar with this specific problem. The nice thing with them is for $89, you get everything included in their service package for the G9, all parts / labor, shipping back and the service for the camera too. The best part, they include the no power correction to the internal screws for all of the G9's they service. If you need a hand, www.camerasandparts.com is the place for service on these. The work is excellent and their pricing and knowledge of these cameras is what I liked.

Somebody was using my canon powershot g9 and when they gave it back to me the lens was out and it was dead. Ive tried everything from charging the batteries and everything nothing is working. Please help!

Camera likely has a common short that comes up on the G9 camera. You just need to get the camera serviced and you'll be back in business again. The site that specializes in service for the powershots is: camerasandparts.com They're amazing if you need help with one of these, that's all they deal with. The good thing with them is they do the correction so that common short never comes back again on the G9. Good luck, that's the place if you need help with a powershot model, they're excellent when it comes to service for these.

Camera was probably shorted out by a common loose screw problem on this model. If you go to: www.camerasandparts.com they specialize in Service for the Canon Powershots and they are amazing if you need service for one of these. They actually have this exact no power problem on their site for your model so you can get it taken care of for very little and have the camera serviced up completely. They also include the correction so this problem never comes back again. Try that site, that's where a lot of people go for help with the Powershots, good luck

Hi, my camera seems to be completly dead. The

Hi Johan, this is a very common fault on all retractable lens cameras. I recommend that you follow the instructions in this link.

Ifthis fails then a professional repair will be the only option. Given the high residual value of your camera, I suggest that you avoid any of the fixing suggestions which are "all or nothing" (such as fix #7 in the link). Making the problem worse is going to increase the cost and may result in the camera being uneconomic to repair.

I hope that you manage to get your G9 working again, all that I ask in return is for you to rate my answer.

Computer no longer recognizes my G9

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

i have the same camera but i want to use it like a webcam.
I found a driver that is located in the canon homepage, called "canon RAW codec"(compatible with Vista and XP), and it allows you to download the photos of the camera and to take fotos instantly, but it don't suport the webcam function...  :(  . I'm using it in windows XP.

That's all, Ithink that it must work for all the users.

How can i fix my camera?

The very common problem on the G9 (also the Canon G7) is they develop a no power problem from some screws getting lose inside of the camera. There's a site that can help and is extremely familiar with this problem. Try this site: www.camerasandparts.com All they work on are Canon Powershoits and the work they do is fabulous and all for about half the price of most places. The thing that's great with them is they include the service for the camera at the time of the no power repair and they do the correction for no power on all G9's to prevent the no power problem from reoccurring. Hope that helps, they're fantastic if you need help with one of these cameras. So you know, it's only $89 with them for everything. Hope that helps.

My Cannon G9 digital camera wont power up even though I have a fully charged battery?

This is usually from a loose screw inside the camera, a screw inside the camera can come loose and cause a short which is very common on the G9. If you go to: www.camerasandparts.com all they deal with is service for the Canon Powershots. They're great if you need a hand with one of these and they automatically do the no power correction on the G7's and the G9's they service which is nice. They are about the least expensive out there at $89 and they include the service and the shipping back. The best part, they do excellent work which is a must for me. Hope that helps you some.
