Anyone know of any good camera repair shops (preferably ones that speak English)? Is it even worth it to go or should I just chuck this one and buy a new one?

I'm having a lens problem on my Canon Powershot SD750. It won't go back into the camera when I turn it off, so the camera always looks like it's on and ready to take pictures... which it will not do when it is turned on.

Do you get an Error 99 on your screen?

If you don't, it could be that you have some sand or buildup blocking the lens from retracting.

If you're a DIYer do a search on Flickr for your camera or another camera from Canon, and follow the steps for taking it apart.

It's not as difficult as it sounds, it's just a pain to clean and put back together.

I've taken apart a few electronics, and if I write down or take pictures of my progress, it's usually easier to put things back together.

Good luck.

Not your model, but it gives you an idea:

Here it is. Have fun. It sure looks like a cool project.

Cheers.

Sorry, the above link is for the SD400, similar body, so it may help. Here are some more tips:

Again, good luck. If you can't put it back together, at least you tried, and it was better than just giving up on it.
