Have you fixed an E18 error on a Canon Powershot A400? |
My Canon Powershot A400, has stopped working. When I attempt to turn it on to take a picture, the lens extends part of the way, then stops, and the screen shows "E18" in the corner. I'm able to use it to view pictures I've taken, if I'm not in picture taking mode. A couple weeks ago, I dropped it onto a paved bike path because a tick was running around like crazy on my shirt and I was trying to remove it so it wouldn't bite me. But the camera's worked fine since then, until yesterday, when I took a couple pictures, turned it off, and when I turned it back on, it stopped working. Apparently this is a common problem, and some people have fixed it by disassembling the camera and cleaning out the gears that move the lens. I found a guide on how to do this but it is for a different Canon camera. Sending the camera to Canon for repairs would cost more than a new camera, as the warranty has expired. Does anyone have experience E18 errors on a Powershot A400? Thanks for your help! Here's a website with some DIY suggestions - some have reported success in fixing the E18 error: http://blogs.yucs.org/~dwallach/2004/08/... it needs repaired Canon E18 Error Here's another link to explain what E 18 is and what to do about it. http://www.e18error.com/ |
