Re: canon dslr 350 problem

There are two little switches - one in the memory card door and one in the battery door. They are operated by a little plastic nib on the respective doors. That would be the first thing I checked.

Re: canon dslr 350 problem

I think it will simply come down to what's the damage, did a quick google search on canon repairs and the costs seem to start at about £100 upwards for repairs.
