If your Canon PowerShot S80 won’t turn on or is experiencing battery-life issues, replacing the motherboard may be the solution.
The motherboard is a vital component of your Canon PowerShot S80, responsible for directing power to all camera functions. If it’s damaged or malfunctioning, you may experience poor battery performance or find that your camera won’t turn on at all.
Before diving into the replacement, double-check your battery to rule out any issues. A dead or faulty battery can mimic motherboard problems, so ensure that your battery is in good condition. If the battery is fine, proceed with the motherboard replacement using this guide.
As you follow the steps, handle all components carefully to prevent any further damage to your camera. Pay particular attention in Step 5, where you must carefully detach the screen without damaging the ribbon cable on the left side.
