In August, I bought a Canon S30 digital camera off Ebay. When I got it, it STUNK of cigarette smoke. I fucking hate smokers. Luckily, a few hours out of the box cleared up the smell. Well, a couple weeks ago I noticed that there were 4 screws missing from the bottom. The guy had clearly opened the camera, as there were other screws with scratches and shit on them. He had also bent a piece of metal that was in the camera and it now was sticking out the seam of the 2 pieces that the case is made of. Well, today I finally found my tiny screwdrivers, so i unscrewed the rest of the screws, rebent the piece of metal, and screwed everything back together... but then the camera wouldn't work. FUCK! To make a long story short, a metal switch came loose and shorted the battery, instantly draining it. I put the swithc back in it's place, tried charging the battery, and YIPPEE! the camera came to life. Goddamn fucking tiny ass japanese electronics!
