There is a problem in the G9's where screws come loose and short out the camera inside. This place does the repair and they correct them inside so it won't keep happening www.camerasandparts.com They're excellent for any problem on a Canon. Canon no longer services the G9 which is unfortunate because the G9 was one of their best cameras. Cameras and Parts will be able to help you, that's a common problem on your model and they do the correction, plus service and repair the camera. It's $89 through them, pretty much unbeatable and they service is as good as it gets on these cameras.

I have had this exact problem. The way I solved it was to take the battery out and recharge it over night. I put the battery in and played with the various controls and the camera came back to life. This was about six months ago and the problem has not returned. I have read of others who have had the problem and had to send it to Canon for repairs. good luck

Why is Mr Slim MS-SGF24VC outdoor unit working when indoor unit off

Possibly a bad control board in the outdoor unit. Pull the disconnect outside to stop machine, wait 10 seconds and out back in. White mist was likely frost built up on indoor coil due to condenser running without the fan.

Hi, the zoom function on top of my G9 has suddenly stopped working properly....it is now quite sloppy and doesn't control zoom accurately?Any ideas? Thank you Nick

Does the zoom switch feel loose? There was a problem with G7 zoom switches - a spring in the switch used to break sometimes. Maybe it's the same problem, although I have never seen a G9 with that problem. Anyways, you will have to give it to a camera technician, unless you have experience in camera repairs. G9 is not a complicated camera, but it's not hard to damage it without the experience. To access the top cover from the bottom side, half of the camera has to be disassembled.

Canon PowerShot G9 stopped working this morning. It simply will not switch on. I charged batteries, tried another battery pack. Nothing happened. I hope you can help. I've only had the camera two...

A common problem on the G9 is they get a loose screw inside and often it renders the camera useless with no power after that common short. There's a site you can get these fixed very reasonably and they include the correction to those internal screws so it won't keep happening. The site is: www.camerasandparts.com The do superb work on the canons for about half of what canon wants to fix these cameras. Good luck with the problem on yours.

My Canon G9 had gotten wet and it was dried and returned in working order by a Canon dealer. He said that the camera might develop spots on the lens and a few months later I noticed a hazy area in the...

You can have the lens replaced with the original Canon lens and the camera serviced for under $100. Try this site: www.camerasandparts.com they just do powershots and they are excellent for help with these. Their service prices are down to earth and they do fantastic work. Hope that helps.

No power?

You just need to have the camera serviced for this no power problem. This is common on the G9 but there's a correction that can be done so this problem never happens again. It has to do with two loose screws in the camera that can result in a short and no power on the G7 and the G9 cameras. 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 fix available on their site for your model so you can get it taken care of for very little and have the camera serviced up completely at the same time. Try that site, that's where a lot of people go for help with the Powershots, good luck with it.

G9 Laser Mouse Scrolling Problem

thx for helping dude, logitechexpert my ***... now check that...i was so pissed because of such stupid advice that i hit my mouse on the corner of my desk...yep i really did.  ...and then it worked! it SCROLLS!
my theory: the logitech has a quite complicated mechanical clockwork-like gear switch for their scrollwheel. they are so proud of it, that they even have pictures of it on the box when you buy a g9. well, i guess when you make things more complicated they arent that reliable anymore...like the gear switch at your bycicle which gets messed up sometimes, because its small mechanical parts just get stucked.  so my mechanical solution: turn your g9 around hold it and knock three times(not too soft: imagine the money you paid for this mouse and release your anger) just around the area where the mechanism is located...i had exactly the same problems like you and now it works perfectly! ...i guess i dont need to buy batteries.

the DC/DC board is not cheap if you can find one.
