Hello to everyone :),
I have found some guides about Canon Camera on the web that I partially use to start in solving my problem but I think You could help me; I have bought an S2 IS via eBay; the seller hasn't indicate me that it was faulty; I gave him a negative feedback, but he has told me that no refund will be done. The issue was passed to eBay, but I am not confident in a positive solution.
After that, I started to repair the camera showsthe infamous E18; it was probably bumped laterally when the zoom was totally extended and one of the 3 slide pins that drive the movement of the same zoom has broken the body, as is shown here: http://psc.110mb.com/S2IS/IMG_0023.JPG and here http://psc.110mb.com/S2IS/IMG_0071.JPG .
Since this pin was not present in the camera, I have built another one with a lathe, fixing it with cyanoacrilic glue in its housing : http://psc.110mb.com/S2IS/IMG_0087.JPG
My problem now is to reassemble the components of the block inside the zoom and the littee springs and washer on the rear, near the CCD, since my brother has managed the parts and doesn't remember how are originally assembled and I have not yet arrived to that point. These are the parts I don't know where they will go for housing : http://psc.110mb.com/S2IS/IMG_0090.JPG
I am a computer technician but I am no able to reassemble what never seen assembled, speaking about camera. For this reason I have taken a lot of picture of the taking a part process; unfortunately, my brother doesn't do the same, so this is the reason why I asking your help. I have also contacted Bower64 that is a sort of wizard about some types of camera, including the S2 IS.
For the rest, I think the damage was repaired, even if I don't know if the electronics works.
I really don't know whom did I contact and the Canon center told me of throwing out the camera; excuse me for my terrible English and also for the quality of the pictures, taken by a bad photographer (me) with my trusty S1 IS.
Cheers and thanks in advance :)
