Thx for the tutorial!
Bought my display at eBay for only $ 29,99 (€ 20,-).
Item was sent to me within 4 days, free of charge in ordinary mail by Rongyuanxie from USA to The Netherlands! Excellent service!

My camera works fine after repairs.

Some remarks:
- The tripod mount has a second srew at the bottom of the camera. This screw has to be removed also, in order allow removal of the tripod mount.
- There is no need to disconnect the backlight cable. The display can easily be removed from the backlight mount after disconnecting the display cable first. The display is connected to the backlight by means of four little clamps. Lift these clamps carefully by means of a small knife to disconnect the old display from the backlight bracket.
- Make sure the display- and backlight cables are positioned properly in their seats! Do not forget to close the brown strip after replacing the display and backlight cable. Failure to do so will result in a non-operational camera.
- On my camera, the metal strip that holds the back and frontcover together (normally attached to the back-cover – see picture nr. 3 above) came lose. I used some super-glue to attach it again. (Take care to wipe off surplus glue, in order not to glue other parts together!)

Thanks for tutorial! I just fixed my Canon Ixus 130 ;). Almost the same…

Thnx for the guide, very good indeed!

Does the same method apply to Canon’s model Powershot SX210 IS? I have been able to take apart the back panel so that the LCD display is visible but I am not quite sure how to remove the LCD. The thing is I have some dust on the sensor or IR filter which should be possible to access once the LCD is out of the way. I have not found any good guide for the SX210 disassembly on the net.

Many, many thanks! Just fixed an Ixus 95 IS that had a dodgy screen (cyan cast). Turned out the LCD lead had been slightly jolted out of position. Re-seated and now works fine!
Not sure if this mentioned above, but on cameras with a slider to select Auto/Program/Movie, make sure the little peg on the switch is aligned with slider slot before inserting back panel to innards (easiest way it to select Auto or Movie – less chance of it being knocked out of alignment). Great stuff.

Worked well, I had taken the old one out a month before receiving a new one, forgot where the flexi’s fitted, the big one, bit of a fiddle and one screw left over?. But all singing dancing again, till daughter drops it again.

Try eBay, look for items with faulty Ixus 55, but working screens.
