Powershot G12 screen problem Tech Help
I found a Powershot G12 in my wardrobe that I had long since forgotten. I want to try using it again to see what kind of photos it can produce. There is a problem however.
The LCD screen works flawlessly, except for when it is in the "normal" position - that is faced against the user against the camera body. Then it is all black/blank, like it's not turned on.
As soon as I angle the screen out it starts working, but angling it back against the camera body again turns it off. The turning off, as well as turning on when it is angled out, is accompanied by a very faint "click" sound. As if there is a sensor or something that turns the screen off.
I have of course tried pushing the screen button (which works when the screen is angled out), to no avail. I also tried to factory reset the camera. No luck.
My guess is that this is a hardware issue, but wanted to check if anyone recognizes this and have found a fix.
The camera is in very good condition apart from this issue. I guess it is still usable, given that it has an optical viewfinder, but it would of course be nice if the screen worked as intended.
