Flash Doesn't Work / Replacement?

The flash failed on my SD110 after only one year (just outside the warranty). I would like some advice on how to repair this or if indeed it is worth it (the camera otherwise works fine). I also have an old Powershot A70(?) with a broken LCD... the flash on that still works. Are they interchangeable?

Canon will sometimes do a complimentary repair if you let them know you got it as a gift - when it's near the warranty. Give it a try: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportIndexAct&fcategoryid=203 Otherwise, the flash assembly is about $40 and labor would be around $85 for us to do the work. The flash assemblies are NOT interchangeable. The LCD on the A70 is $55 + $45 labor to replace. www.crystalcamera.com

My Canon digital camera will not flash outside. PLZ help!!

It is possible that you have the camera on an inappropriate setting. For example, if you are outside during the day and your camera is set to AUTO, there is little chance for the flash to go off because the camera doesn't need the extra light. If you want to force your camera to flash, set it to a mode other than AUTO and then turn on the flash. Good luck!

It says that a problem occurred during instalation and it may not work properly. now i can't get it recognized on any of these computers

If you can't even get your drive recognized in any of those computers, there's nothing you can do. If you are inside the warranty period (For SanDisk it is usually 5 years since the date of purchase), then take it to your dealer. He will bring you a replacement within 2 weeks. Even though you are outside the warranty period, take it to your dealer to see if he can do anything on it. Sometimes, you would be lucky.

Hope this one solved your problem. If you have additional doubts, please come back to us.

P.S: If the solution is helpful, please accept the solution.

Regards, Sunny.

I bought last year Mr. Christmas Digital Photo ornament, and I cannot get my pictures on the USB drive it says that the flash is incorrect. Please help

Try a different flash-drive, preferably one with a _smaller_ capacity.

Did the item come with a one-year warranty? If so, exercise the warranty, and get a replacement.

Flash light symbol is flashing but the flash will not work.

The best solution is to send the product back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. If you have a receipt for the product and its within the warranty period (1 year) they will do this free of charge. I can help you with the process.
