Broken Canon A60... what to do?

[placebo139]

I dropped my camera a while back and now the switch between "Picture" and "Play" mode will not work at all. It's always stuck in picture mode, and it's quite annoying having to use a card reader, and not being able to view my pictures after I take them.

Is there anything I can do about this... like maybe buy parts to replace the broken switch? I opened it up the other day and found the part that was broken... but I don't know where to find replacements. Any ideas?

I'm in the same boat, but my G2 didn't break from dropping it. The zoom lever is broken.

Contant Canon for warranty repair???

I dropped my Canon A70 one day and it broke the shutter lens cover, I took it to the local camera shop and the guy said you would probably pay Canon about as much as the camera is worth to go over it. I guess they don't just fix the problems while the camera is there, they like to overhaul the whole thing. So the guy at the camera shop just reccomended just either deal with it, or buy a new one. Everything on my camera still works though, so not worth it to send in or get a new one.
