i posted another thread about my g1 that is locked up.
i may try and just fix it, even though i am buying a new camera. just so i can have a backup.
does anyone know where I might order/buy the fuse that has blown in my g1?
i have read a bunch of threads/sites that help with fixing the problems but haven't seen anyone say where they get the part from, do I just call up canon and order it? or is it more generic, and can be orderd from another manufacturer.
thanks everyone
Dan

Unless you know for certain why the fuse blew, you should be prepared to purchase several fuses in advance.

I believe that the fuse blew because the last pics that I took, the battery needed charging but I was in the field and didn't charge it until I got home later that day. I only took a few pics with the battery low indicator flashing, I even had it charged, transfered pics to the computer, then it died the next time i turned it on to take more pics.
i have no probably buying a bunch of fuses, they are cheap.
it would be neat to try and fix it, and if it doesn't work, then i just junk it. or sell it cheap to someone who can fix it.
just not worth spending 150-200 bucks to have canon fix it or another repair shop.
