I'm not very familiar with your situation.

Not only you did not mention the PowerShot model, there are almost 100 different ones, Canon only sells these manuals to certified repair centres. Reading the manual suggests the repair is easy, but without the special knowledge, tools and skills you won't be able to repair. Like reading an extensive description, with graphical extras, about how to operate an appendix will not, be enough to do the operation yourself. Although I did get lots of repair manuals (most because I was certified) I not always could get every manual I wanted. If you want to see how to open a camera? look on fixit.com and see if your camera is there. Next time please add the brand and model in a question. It will increase the chance you get a quick and detailed answer.

time to let it go

not at a reasonable cost. if it works, keep using it

Not sure. When it is defect, or the electronics inside the camera is defect, it can't be repaired by the user. (repairs now can cost more than a new camera) Be try pressing the display button several times, while in recording or in viewing mode.

You need a exif viewer, to see what date you shot the picture. Some cameras allow you to put the date visual in the photo but it must be setup before you shoot. And for these pictures you can't remove the date when you don't need it. get the program here and load your picture in this program: EXIF Viewer

Ebay was selling one for a few dollars in working condition, you are better off buying a used one or a none working one making sure the battery door is good. You can replace the battery door but it will require you to take the front and rear cover of the camera off. You will have to take off the little screws all around the camera and the pry apart the front and rear case. Sometimes you can use a pair of small needle nose pliers and just squeeze the ends of the plastic battery door inwards from the hinge and the battery cover should pop out. To install the new battery door you do the same, squeeze the plastic axle and push it into the cameras case.

On a powershot? when you say you can't see anything through the lens, do you mean on the lcd screen?

For repairs in the US, this is the only place we recommend: www.CamerasAndParts.com They only service Canon Powershots and they are excellent. They are about half the cost of most shops and do such great work! That's the place that most people use for the Canons, most every repair package through them is about $80 - $90 with both parts and labor and the return shipping included. Plus they do the cleaning and servicing for the camera with all their repairs. You won't beat them for service if you have a Canon.

Your camera has an electronic view finder. To switch between the view finder and the display, you have to press the DISP. button several times and look what happens in Shooting mode and what in Playback mode. If only the display will come on, and the viewfinder stays black the camera will have a defect. If you can't use the camera anymore, because you only can shoot with the viewfinder, consider buying a new camera, because any repair will be more expensive than a new camera with the same quality.

From the way you describe the problem it appears that the retraction mechanism has become out of line. I think that as you can hear a clicking sound the mechanism is working but not engaging with the lens. Try gently applying slight pressure on the front of the lens this may help to re-engage. You may need to consider a trip to the repair shop.

Try selecting a smaller resolution. This may help you to shoot images but clearly there is a problem at the higher images size. Try also cleaning the contact on the memory card.

Check the manual; some models are limited to uploading videos of two minutes or less. Hope this helps!
