Once the edges are free of tape, remove the paper backing of the replacement glass. Make sure not to touch the inside of the glass or you"ll forever have fingerprint smudge giving you a less than perfect view.

I have successfully changed my LCD Screen on my PowerShot S400! With the help of this forum, I learned of the Canon Parts Center and phone number (732-521-7230). I couldn’t believe the price of $33.02 plus $5.00 s/h. (LCD screen part number WG2-5243-000…they don’t use the numbers printed on the screen itself) They sent it from NJ to CA in about a week. I was very reluctant to even take on such a project as replacing the LCD, but after researching locally for repair options, and getting a range of $230 to $300 to fix a $499 S400, I said “what the heck�. I would rather buy a brand new camera, than fix one for over half the price. (One local store said the LCD screen alone cost $195…what a con / rip). I must admit, I did first take apart the camera initially to see what was inside and if it would be way over my head (before even learning of the Canon Part Center).

First, make an investment in a GOOD set of precision screwdrivers (sandblasted tips for a good grip). I went out and bought a 12-piece set of Sears Craftsman Micro-Tech Precision Screwdrivers ($19.99) … you only need one of the Phillip’s head and one of the slotted, but I will probably need the rest at some time, plus the set has a lifetime warranty. Sears sells smaller sets or individual screwdrivers.

First remove all of the outer screws, KEEP TRACK OF WHAT SCREWS GO WHERE, THEY ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS!!! The outer case / covers comes apart in two pieces surprisingly easily, and the knobs, buttons, switches, etc. stay intact in the outer cases. The hardest part is “prying� the old LCD Screen out of the frame / holder. I would strongly recommend buying the new LCD Screen first, so you know what is being replaced and what is the frame that the screen snaps in to versus what is the LCD screen. Use a small slotted screwdriver to “pop� out the screen from the holder. Pry / twist the screwdriver from between the LCD and the back area behind the LCD. Work around the two ends of the LCD (short sides). If you use the magnify glass, you can see small dimples of metal that press against the LCD to hold it in place under pressure.

Remove the bottom metal plate (one screw next to the tripod hole)….wiggle this plate free…a part of this plate slides under the battery door hinge area.

Remove the screw under the flash to release the copper / plastic shield covering the entire PC board in order to get to the connector. Unplug the flexible connector from the PC board…carefully just pull it out. When you pull out the flexible connector, it causes a clip to pop up, releasing the connector. Don’t worry, this “clip� is hinged and will not fly out. It is a little tricky putting the new connector back in. It does not just plug in. Slide the connector in the slot, and then push down on the hinged clip to push down and hold the connector…it will click closed.

Re-assemble the covers, compact flash door, etc. Be careful of the spring that the compact flash door uses. One of the great things about working with a precision piece of equipment such as the Canon S400, is that it goes back together exactly as it was taken apart, if it doesn’t, you haven’t aligned / done something right…don’t force anything.

Disclaimer: I think I have listed the most important steps. Some of the instructions may not make any sense until you open up the camera to see the parts I am talking about. These steps were successful in repairing my camera, but I knew that only the LCD screen was damaged, and nothing else. I am somewhat mechanically inclined. You need a steady hand (drug addicts should not attempt this repair). If you can change a battery in a watch, you should be able to do this. Take your time; get a clean work area with good lighting. It took about an hour to do this job….less time than writing this letter.

I was motivated to write this letter to “give back to Society�. After being lied to and almost ripped off by the camera repair shops, I felt a civic duty. Here is some advice that is absolutely priceless. This whole broken LCD disaster could have been avoided for 59 cents. I had a $20 soft nylon case for the camera. I LOVE this camera because of the small size and excellent quality. My philosophy in making any purchase (no matter the price), is that it has to be used. Big and bulky cameras are too inconvenient to dash around with. I broke my camera because I forgot it was in my pocket and slammed my car door against it (I know…how stupid). A very good and knowledgeable sales guy warned me about that….people forget they have it in their pocket and run into things. For 59 cents, go to Target, buy a hard plastic soap box, used to traveling (they come in some puke colors). The S400 fits PERFECTLY in it. Cut a little slot for the hand strap to come out of and you are good to go. The saddest part of this story is that I purchased a second new S400 right after I broke the first one…then repaired the broken one. Now I have two perfectly functioning S400’s.
