Well, it's a nice paperweight with a yellow LED.
Bad news...

Don't play with the "factory mode" stuff unless you are very sure what you are doing.

May camera be in factory mode? How about USB connection, it works?

:o

If I plug it in, I get new hardware found "DCP connect". Naturally, windows does not have a driver for it. Libusb test program doesn't see it. Shows up as an unknown device in dev manager.

Oh, and I get green and yellow led.

Indeed, this is factory mode.
So, CHDK (in minimal configuration, boot.c only without spytask ) can be loaded?

I'm working on that, thanks for your hints :)

That is the first recorded 'bricking' of a camera by CHDK and definitely the first disaster-recovery !

Wasn't really bricked, luser error.  :-[

I wanted to see what factory mode looked like. Turns out, it looks like a brick! But the camera is actually running. Even CHDK was running, but it doesn't display and PTP doesn't load.

But yeah, I'll be a little more cautious before calling random eventprocs.

So
FA.Create registers the factory mode functions.
SetFactoryMode (I think, I tried several) sets something in ROM which indicates factory mode.
ClearFactoryMode undoes the ROM setting. ClearFactoryMode can be called from CHDK spytask with the appropriate wrapper.

Both call WRITEADJTABLETOFROM which I guess does the deed. I wonder if this means my original factory adjustments have been nuked ?

If anyone wants to roll the dice, there's also
SetDurianMode
ClearDurianMode

Durian ?!?

Congratulations on the quick success! And "durian" definitely sounds like an irresistible temptation, what a pity that I don't have one in my cam...

Now, after the happy end, I admit it was a bit of disappointment, -- I actually hoped that we would get a working flasher in the end of your adventure. Alas, let's wait till ewavr bricks his ;)

P.S. Thanks, Wim. Very sobering, indeed.

I guess rather not...let badpixel.lua report the bad pixels from your reanimated bady...

*EDIT: did you check the SD card ? maybe there are some log files, like DC97/MISC/CANON/FACTORY/RSTFNO

PS: would be nice if we could find a Canon service manual for one of the newer Powershots,
i guess the service tools & procedures should be similar on many cameras,
as on the good old Pixma IPxxx printer series...

BTW - Yeah: Don't forget what the H stands for.  :haha
