Same problem here! I e-mailed Canon and they told me the details were "proprietary" - Hah! Then they warned me not to do the repair myself as it would void the warrantee! Geez - this is a ten year old camera! Finally, they wanted me to send it in - C'mon, we Canonites can beat this rap!
Would someone please be more specific about how to replace the latch - it appears to take more than just the side cover removed with two screws (that part is ridiculously easy, but the latch is still captive by the metal spring tangs). Is there a web site or posting with instructions someone can share.
