Goddamn digital camera

Clodfobble · 11-07-2008, 01:29 PM

My digital camera (a Canon Powershot A530) is having issues. But they're weird. As far as I can tell, it seems that the flash is broken, but it knows the flash is broken, so it won't take the picture if it thinks it needs a flash. If I turn the flash off, or turn it to auto-flash but aim it at a window, I can take pictures all day. But, of course, they're dark and blurry. The rest of the time I just hold down the trigger and it does nothing.

Does this sound like something that might be common, or easy, or cheap to fix? Or should I just suck it up and get a new one?
