Great guide. My camera broke, couple of weeks back. The lens was extended and it won't retract. It just gives the lens error message. Orders a replacement lens from eBay fro $35 and used this guide to replace it.
There is a step missing, on removing the flash, one side screw and one front, above the lens, otherwise perfect. thank you so much, just as above I had a lens error and ordered a replacement for 14£ from ebay. all works now. thanks.
Is there no other 'fix' without replacing the lens assembly on this particular "Lens error "issue?
@profeduards: try to reseat the flexes from the aperture and IS. You can disassemble the lens to reset the position and/or remove sand but make lots of pictures of the process, and mark (with pencil) a line over the rings (from the front) to know what ring goes where when reassembling. It's possible to reassemble without (as I did, lens was extended so i couldnt) but the process is long, arduous and takes a lot of patience.
Thanks, my Lens was bricked, and with a new Lens kit @15$ from china, it was fixed.
