Canon PowerShot G2 camera screws.

[elcaro]

Hi all, I've got a Canon PowerShot G2 camera which is missing 2 screws retaining the front part. These are tiny cross-headed screws of some sort. Tried a computer shop - "nothing that small", tried a jeweller's "nothing that big". Tried a Camera shop, not got them either (!). Obviously I need to be a bit careful - if a screw was too long then when you tighten it it could make contact with circuitry inside. I'd be grateful for any ideas. Thanks in advance.

You have two options:

1. contact the manufacturer.

2. locate an identical camera and remove a screw. Get an engineering workshop to determine its size and thread type.

Thanks Sam Gangee - I've emailed Canon. Finding a simliar cam or even if possible) finding out if any of the other screws on this one are the same is a good idea.

Might be able to identify which screws are the same from here http://www.micro-tools.net/pdf/Canon/POWER SHOT G2.pdf

would a drop of super glue in the hole work?

Thanks guys. Denso13, yes in that diagram the screws are those numbered 30 at the bottom of page 2, then page three says 30 CD1-4031-000 class F standard screws and washers - but doesn't give their specs as far as I can see. I guess I can quote that part number to Canon though. Thanks very much.

Ebay has a couple for spares or repair as well, 6-7 quid including delivery, which would give you some other bits and pieces.
