This replacement guide will show you how to access the flash capacitor of the Canon Powershot SD780 IS.
Be extremely careful in dealing with the capacitor as it can store a large electrical charge for a long period of time. The safest way to handle a capacitor is by discharging it. You can make a capacitor discharge tool by following the Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool guide.
