I've got a Canon digital camera that still displays images off the card but will not take photos or display an image on the screen

Any ideas where it can be repaired

Alyhough I know it might be cheaper/easier to jusy buy a new one

It's ironic that you mention this.

I just had the most amazing service on my Canon Power Shot PS 400.

A near antique, about 6 years old. Uses a compact flash card, 3.2V lithium ion battery. Way out of date; 4 megapixel.

But I want to keep it, as I have a most excellent Canon underwater housing for it, that allows access to all controls, that I use for casual scuba photography.

Started to get error messages; <deleted> photos, misc. problems.

3 days ago I went to Denchai to see if I could get it sorted out.

To their credit, the excellent service rep said that if I had not bought the camera there (I hadn't) they would charge 500 B to forward to the Canon service center.

Under gentle prodding, I established the fact that there is a Canon service center here in CM.

Drove there Tuesday this week, dropped off the camera for a check out.

Yesterday Wed at 8:55 AM received an SMS saying my camera was ready.

Arrived there yesterday around 10 AM.

They had replaced the CCD, a shutter mechanism, and some other widget.

Total charge- Zero. As in Nada. The big donut hole. For what is essentially a brand new camera.

Unbelieveable service, turn around time.

The operating manager there actually bowed down from the waist, Japanese style, when I left.

I can't think of any service experience even close to this in my 57 years. Absolutely the best.

Is there space on your card for more images? I know this sounds stupid but I also know many people never bother to download their images.

canon service center ?

Canon Service Center

Chiangmai Branch (For all products)

146/3,9 Moo1, Padad, Muang, Chiangmai 50100

Tel. 0-5381-2344

Fax. 0-5328-2911

I have used them myself on a couple of occasions, and found them excellent. They have "inhouse" servicing for general repairs. but if it's in the "too hard" basket, it goes straight to the main service center in Bangkok which is massive.

If you have a Canon camera, Mulcahey- Denchai will just send it to Canon anyway, and charge 500B as well.

If Canon service center wasn't helpful, only thing I can think of is that your item is not repairable. Or isn't a Canon product.

See post #2 above for directions to Denchai.
