Hi, I have read that there is a way to bypass the the lens error on some powershots by holding a screwdriver on a certain area as you power up the camera. I'm wondering if someone could expand on this as the posts I've seen have been a bit vague.
If you link to the specific thing you read that might be helpful.
As a guess, I'd expect this advice is for cameras that aren't disassembled, but have some physical problem with the lens opening mechanism. You can get a lens error if the lens mechanism is jammed or damaged and can't open fully. It's hard to see this being relevant to your case.
For your case, you either need to emulate the lens in hardware or bypass the error in software. Either option is likely to require a significant amount of highly technical work.
