I have an A530 that was included in the recall for the “hot” spring but I didn’t know about it and Canon won’t fix it now. Does anyone have a diagram of what the problem was and the DIY fix that I’ve seen talked about, but never described?
John Darago this was recalled because a little hinge spring in the door of the battery compartment can stick out and short the batteries. Result is poor battery life, and a hot battery door.
You could try to shorten the spring, use a small Dremel like tool with a cut of wheel or simply place a piece of electrical tape over it.
