LOL - I'm calling this a troll myself.  Maybe it happened maybe not but quite frankly this individual seems less than receptive to being helped.  (Edit - The word honest seemed a little harsh on reflection)

Dunno about troll, but definitely not doing anything that will effectively lead to a solution. Whatever happened, it will take careful methodical work to figure out the actual problem and solution.

I doubt the battery being left out will fix this.
I'm 100% certain it won't.

Its a shame canon doesnt have any firmware updates as this might be a chance to repair it.
I'm 99% certain this wouldn't help either, for reasons explained earlier. Why ask for advice if you are going to ignore people who actually know something about the topic ?

*shrug*

Sucks to damage your camera (although as far as camera damage goes, having the wrong date stamp is pretty benign) but if you want fix it you'll have to do some leg work. Jumping to conclusions won't help.

Have you tried setting the time on the camera back to a reasonable date.

It is a fact that your camera shows that the date is 1/1/70 but that doesn't actually help with a solution or determine if CHDK actually was the cause.  I feel for you since with your attitude it is unlikely your camera will ever get back to normal. 

You have this mistaken belief that anyone but yourself is harmed here.  I will continue to use CHDK, reyalp will continue to use CHDK.  Only you are affected.  A few people may decide not to use CHDK but that is their loss not ours. 

If you want your camera to get a proper date you will listen to reyalp and not just rant on and on.

Very nice, Harpo, what a netiquette! It is amazing how the IT shapes our behavior. In different ways...

Just a late update I took the g11 into canon service irvine and they uploaded the firmware (oem) back to the camera which fixed the issue.

So when I said this firmware screwed up my camera I was correct and the flamers were wrong. Im sure I will get flamed for this as well but some people refuse to except blame when blame is due.

Good to hear you got your camera fixed.

Possibly similar to this http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5660.0
Reseting the params would most likely be part of whatever they did to restore the original firmware. I did suggest param corruption as a possible cause here http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5322.msg51668#msg51668

There doesn't appear to be sufficient evidence to prove or disprove this. It should be noted that others have used CHDK on the G11 without problems.
