Title
Repairing Canon Powershot Camera indicates low battery and shuts down
Introduction
I get this «low battery», or not working camera few weeks ago. It seem this problem is quite frequent with the powershot cameras. We can see few answers here: [http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/14396/Camera+indicates+low+battery+and+shuts+down.|http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/14396/Camera+indicates+low+battery+and+shuts+down.] and also on this blog: http://lakeuk.blogspot.fr/2010/04/camara-fix.html[http://lakeuk.blogspot.fr/2010/04/camara-fix.html].
However this fixes does not seems to work for anybody, and are not really satisfactory. I looked deeper in my camera, and I found that the problem is a loose soldering connecting the battery pins to the main motherboard.
