Hi guys, hope this video was helpful for you ...please subscribe to finally reach the milestone of 1K subs... thanks in advance ...
Wow, okay. So to the camera repair shop I go. 😂 thanks for the video though.
thanks for watching
Great video… can you do it again, but do it to my camera? 😂😂😂
hahaha … thanks for watching
wow these are so many steps ,
well it is small powerful camera... lot of stuff is packed inside... if you have time you can do it... just follow video...
This video is just to tell you, its worth paying camera service guy.. !!
Don't try this at home...
hi, yea… but there are still few DIY people around that I made this video for. … BTW: thanks for watching
Hello, I wanted to know what type of screw you used at 1:43 in the video. I have a screw set, but I have been using a Phillips #000 screw driver. I have not seen many videos on what type of screw driver is required for this part
I Hope I can do that someday.. Im afraid though.. 😂
haha ... good luck and thanks for watching
You forgot the disclaimer "don't try this at home". Got as far as unscrewing half of the back plate until some of the screws wouldn't unscrew and I had to give up short of stripping the screws bare... off to Canon repair shop with it...
hi, Im sorry for your experience. for jobs like this one a proper tool set is needed as well. thanks for watching
exact same thing happened to me. now I just have a bag of useless screws and camera parts
Or you can just smash it on the ground 👍🏻
hi, you can try however my method is les harmful. thanks for watching
I like how you say at the end, “now, it should be easy for you”. No, it is not. Here is my dislike.
hi, well maybe you should leave it for professionals … sorry for your experience
Hi : First Thank you My camera G7X now do the same problem ( lens error) because it’s fell down on the floor . Second things how can I find a new battery ( for my camera G7X ) because the battery take only 5 minutes then empty
please feel free to follow this video… and for new parts (battery) check links in description… thanks for watching
Im pretty handy with fixing things, washing machines, cars, etc etc. But this is way over my head
washing machine is pretty big... this requires bit of precision haha ... good luck man!
thanks for watching
Everything stopped once I removed the battery 😭😂 Great video tho, I gave you a thumbs up🤗
thanks for watching
I broke one of the ribbons because the explanation is awful, tbh.
hi, Im sorry to hear that…
Hey, first of all, thanks so much for the video. Disassembling worked just fine :) However, I am stuck on the lens part (4:13). I am able to push it in, yet the lense still doesn't straighten. Do you happen to have any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? :(
Hi, thanks for watching! it is hard to tell what can be wrong with your camera… and I can’t give you any advice at this stage
@@takeapart Thanks tho! :)
Helpfull.... But must becarefull for replace the cable of part.
hi, gentleness is important with such small camera ... but if you need parts feel free to use links in description and contact sellers for specific parts.
thanks for watching
@@takeapart my g7x crash on river,,, so grazy about that haha..
could i pay you to re assemble mine
hi, what happened to your camera?
@@takeapart Same! I dropped my g7x and the lens is stuck now. I am afraid of fixing it myself and breaking it for real. Do you fix them??
hi, yes I do ... however the shipping cost will be probably higher than repair fee ... depending on which part of the world you based..?
Got real close but getting those two ribbions through that plasic ring on the lens, took like 30 minutes and i broke the cable. so gg.
hi, that is tricky part! feel free to use my links in description ... links will lead you to the good sellers! I using them all the time- even if your part not listed flick them a message and they tell you how to get the right part.
thanks
Hey I followed guide put back together everything works except screen is blank did I miss something?
hi, make sure that screen cable is connected (properly)
Hi @ 1:04 I accidently took out the ribbon, it doesn't appear to be damage, is there anyway i get a replacement? or maybe glue it back on?
if it’s not damaged then it should be fine
@@takeapart thank you for your reply! What glue should I use because it won't stick back on manually. Much appreciated :)
look …the ribbon is connected with connector… there is no glue … that connector is for entire back including display !
i just twisted my lense and it worked. however half of my lense doesn’t open when i have to push it down everytime i turn it on
hi, I would probably check inside if all ok . thanks for watching
Which way did you twist it? Was it able to turn on just fine? I currently don’t have the tool to do all those steps
Heyy my nikon coolpix 9900 is not opening and closing properly and lens error occurs should i bring my camera to any repairing shop or just dslr repaing centr??
hi, it is hard question... I would try fix it my self due to cost and value...
Awesome vid! Was very helpful. I successfully took it apart. Waiting for my new lens. I liked and subbed! Good job
thanks for watching
TAKEAPART can you by any chance do a video on how to reassemble it
hi, Im sure I have video on that topic...
good video... i got my camera disassembled down to the back plate, but unfortunately i just can't remove 2 of the screws from the back plate- they look to be stripped. Any advice?
hi, you definitely want to try different screwdrivers first... keep trying
thanks
Same with me. 2 screws on the back plate. 1 in the bottom. One on tue side at the flash area. Have you been able to fix?
hi, unfortunately rhere is not much to do once is screw stripped...
PiperQuarium yeah, I had to stop. I tried everything. Going to have to send it into Canon and pay the $100 unfortunately. I was hopeful! Lol.
Tiny drill bit, drill. Done.
I can fix many things except such a small camera like this
time to start
Does it make that clicking noise because my kids dropped it. The lens goes in and out but it clicks and said lens error
hi, yes that’s the reason... something in lens retract mechanism is jammed or broken. thanks for watching
@1:50 to 1:51, you need to pull the connector away. Unfortunately I pulled the socket with it as well, rendering the camera useless. Oh well, there goes another 1K to buy a new camera.
sorry to hear , you can get replacement part and finish your camera- still cheaper than new camera. also you can try to use it without in mean time .
@@takeapart Ah, probably would mean that the lens adjustment won't work. Hopefully it's not an integrated function, just a one off
Chicken flavoured Pot noodles?
yeah
wow! Once I unscrewed my iPhone 4 after to dry it out after 30 min in the laundry. And I did work well for the next 2 month. But that one is nothing compare it your Canon performance!
thanks for watching
Is that ok for Canon g7x not mark ii
Is mark I
hi, internals will be slightly different but you can follow this
Hi, I've run into an issue, the screws you're taking out at 1:42 won't move and I feel like I will just strip the heads if I keep at it... any tips on this?
+Sinuous hi, try different shape ot phillips screwdriver head, it shouldn’t be tight that much.
@@takeapart I don't believe the inner screws are phillips screws, I believe they are JIS (japanese industry standard) screws. no phillips driver will open them (easily), I've ordered a wider variety screwdriver set and will try again tomorrow.
also thank you for getting back to me and I appreciate the time you took to make this video, It's a life saver :)
So…just buy a new one
that’s the option as well….
Hi Sir, can you tell me what setup you use for your youtube videos? Camera, arm, and software. Thanks
Hi , sony a6500, sigma mc 11 , sigma 18-35 f1.8 , davinci resolve for edit
@@takeapart thank you and what tripod do you use?
manfrotto be free
Hello , I dropped my g7x and now the mic sounds very muffly and doesn’t capture much audio. How do u replace the mic?
hi, mics are on top cover... try to take a part camera and see what is going on.. probably they just jumped out of the sockets when you dropped it .
thanks for watching
Thank u so much!
no worries- let me know how it went...
Can I use this camera as a webcam ??
And how I can make it doesn't shut down??
not sure... have to test first
Can you make video and explain to me how it's possible?
will do!
Too fast too join in
hi, just pause when you need
OMG ! its under 1 yr warranty Right ? y u not send to the agent ?
out of warranty...
Thanks! it was very helpfully :)
thanks for watching
I just pushed it in with force
hi, it all depends on how bad is damage... sometimes simple push/wiggle can fix it. thanks for watching!
Does anyone know whether the G7X mark III lens is the same as the G7x mark I/II lens? I mean the lens without CCD, as I know the CCD is different in the mark III.
Hi did you figure it out ? I have stuck lens ? Thank you
Me suscribo porque me ayudaste bastante, dañé mi cámara y tuve este mismo error
thanks
Hello, thank you for this breakdown. Wanted to know if you knew what the think ribbon that runs along a thicker ribbon cable that you are trying to pass through the big ring thats attacked to the sensor does The ribbon from 4:37. I had fixed the lens but while trying to run the ribbon back I ripped it. Thinking its probably best to buy a whole new lens zoom assembly. What do you think?
Hi Roberto! if you damaged ribbon cable... there is not much to do.... you can repair ribbon if possible or just buy new one via links in description...(even if they for different parts... you van reach out directly to the sellers and ask for specific part/s) .
thanks for watching
Appreciate the reply!! Love practical channels like yours!!
thanks for support !
Bos tempat perbaikan dimana ya bos
You are of no help sir! Wtf 😬
Wow that’s a lot of work thank you for this video
thank you for watching
Your welcome
good luck with your repair
Thank you
no worries- thank you
great video, I need to try and do this on mine as recently the same thing happened.
Hi Richard ! yes definitely go for it.
recommending good light and coffee!
thanks
@@takeapart hi just assembled everything, it seemed to all go together perfect. but when you turn the camera on the lens comes out but then it just keeps making a shutter noise and goes back in then said lens error :/ any ideas?
hi Richard , you sure is it shutter noise? tonme it sounds like gear, lens was not assembled properly and it still cannot retract lens . some plastic bit in lens must still be out of the position and blocking the motor or some internal parts .
I suggest to take it a part and go over. have a look for details.
also in some point... while plastic ring (with hole for ribon cables) is out you can fully retract lens and check if it’s working in all range smoothly.
good luck.
btw where you located?
thanks
take apart it’s a brand new lens I ordered from aliexpress, would that still be the case ?
Located in Manchester
How did you remove ribbon cable at 1:50
did you ever figure this out??
damnnnn it is so hard
let me know if you need assistance…
@@takeapart I accidentally dropped my camera to the ground real hard today and after I checked it there is a problem with the lens... it jams. When I turn on the camera it has no problem the lens coming out perfectly... however when I pressed the turn off button it won't coming in.. I mean the lens and it sounds so noisy. I am so sad about it
oh yes… it sounds like something broken inside… you can follow my video and try to see what’s going on inside…
@@takeapart but when point the camera to the scenery... it doesn't look damaged or what. I think yeah I can follow your video tutorial to take off all the components but I am not sure I can set back or not. haha
I never done this before. zero knowledge.
btw, where are you from? maybe I can use for skill of repairing the camera
Hi all, this is certainly at your own risk but thought i should let you know that I fixed mine by holding the zoom between my palm and thumb and giving it a forceful wiggle, which produced a little pop. The zoom then retracted and was fixed. It now works fine and i'm hugely relieved as i didn't fancy my chances with the in-depth fix on the vid. Not to take anything away from the hard work that went in to this vid by Take Apart. I had also contacted canon who's fixed rate fix charges don't apply for drop damage , which is what this was. I was originally looking at a hefty repair charge which i now don't have to worry about. I thought i'd give it a shot based on the fact this guy went all the way through the camera to essentially pop a component back in place. Don't come at me if this doesn't work. It's at your own risk. Good luck with whichever route you go down.
hi and yes! in my case I didn’t wanted to damage delicate lens parts by applying force. but sometimes it can donthe trick. anyway I went the hard way and disassembled it all .
just make sure there is no broken part inside or so.
thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this comment! I had almost accepted that my camera was a lost cause (not going to pay the hefty repair fee) but thanks to you I wiggled and wiggled and now it seems to work again. You're my hero right now! :D
its fixed you legend
+The Gamer Reacts thanks for watching
+sustainablefox thanks for watching
That’s doing to MUCH it’s not worth it. Looks 👀 like a headache 🤕
hi, it is questionable... if someone has hundreds of dollars for bew one or repair done by someone else then yes.
if someone has at least bit of knowledge and time to fix small issue with no new parts required.... then no.
thanks for watching
hey bro i ve same Problem but thete is no one can fix it on my country can u help PLZ !
+The X where are you based? it is easy if you take time and if you have stady hands ... just follow video thanks
