That seems to be the most likely cause. I have found a firm that will
repair it (with a guarantee) for £72, so that is my least-bad option.

Have you looked at the price and spec of a Canon replacement? e.g:-
http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Prod...tal_Camera/Pow
erShot/PowerShot_A495/

That does look pretty good as long as I can get the pictures out of it.

It says it will take SD cards, so my external reader might work with it.
(I seem to remember some memory card size limitation on either the
reader or the camera, can't remember which.)
