If you want to have a go at fixing the camera then this thread looks interesting:

It could be either a bent pin, or needs the internal battery removed - there is also something about Canon USA fixing camera for free, even those out of warranty, not sure about UK though.


Yup, reading through that thread, it really sounds likely that the internal CMOS battery has finally run down. Should be simple enough to replace it yourself.

My newer Canon digicam has easier access to that battery, from inside the main battery hatch, just like with my DSLR.
