Powershot A95 - E18 error

[taylorde]

Hello, I have a Canon A95, that I have had for about a year. I was using it the other day, to take some movie pics, then an hour later I started getting the E18 error. The camera was not dropped. I formatted the compact flash card with my card reader, I put in new batteries, but nothing removes the E18 error. There seems to be a lot of talk on the web about E18 errors. What I would like to do now, is try the disassembly fix. Before I attempt that, would anyone out there be able to point me to a repair guide for this specific camera, so that I can disassemble proberly??

thanks

Are you using rechargables? first try those because they have more power then alkalines. Alkalines have good voltage but no power. Rechargables have less voltage but they have the power the camera needs to drive a hung up lens.
