This replacement guide will show you how to access the flash capacitor of the Canon Powershot SD780 IS.

Be extremely careful in dealing with the capacitor as it can store a large electrical charge for a long period of time. The safest way to handle a capacitor is by discharging it. You can make a capacitor discharge tool by following the Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool guide.

Having removed the battery, you can begin removing the outermost screws on the camera to allow for case replacement. There are 5 screws in total. This will require a Philips head # 00 screwdriver.
Keep track of where each screw came from in order to avoid complications during the reassemble process.
The screws highlighted by the red square in the second image (on the left side in the first image) are 2.0 mm long.
