I have seen a similar problem being answered, but I request more clarification on this. I am not able to find the microswitch on top of card door that was mentioned in the solution. An image of that micro switch location would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The black "chip" is not actually a chip, it is a swich so that when you open the cf door the camera turns off. This will work, but only for a minute or two. However, there is a chip called the ccd chip which does malfunction, due to faulty wiring. Canon is aware of this problem and will fix it for free if you visit their website.

Thanks for helping me know the location of the microchip. I tried to push it, but the image is still is blank. Thanks for trying!
The microchip is located when you open the card door. you will see a picture that says CF and if you go up youll see a black chip . use a pin or pen to push it in, close the slot door and it should work.
