Here’s a quick video showing you how I fixed the screen on my Canon SD850IS.

I had left it in my bag on a motorcycle ride through NJ and when I took it out to take a quick picture I realized that something in my bag had cracked the screen and make it totally unusable.

I didn’t want to throw away a perfectly good $400 camera, but without the screen modern point-and-shoots are very difficult to use (can’t set the flash, view pictures, zoom level, etc).  Luckily a couple internet searches led me to the Canon customer support line 800-652-2666.  When I called them they were actually really helpful.  I told them what camera I had and what I needed and they found the right screen for me with no hassle.  Best of all the replacement was only around $35 shipped!

Watch the video below for a quick run through on how to replace a screen.  Let us know if you want to see anything else worked on or questions answered in a video with the contact page or just leave a comment below.  I promise I’ll frame the shot better next time!
