short avi with corresponding thm-file.

I belive you can use the thm-file with any avi made by the camera, as long as the name matches.

Here's all of the lines from that screens, if it helps:
3: C`Jon : 6
4: C`fo. PowerShot SP!10 I!! : 32
5: Codment : 30

Correct values are:

3: Canon : 6
4: Canon PowerShot SX110 IS : 32
5: Comment : 30

(I don't know about other values).

So, here is CBasic script, which can restore default values in your camera:
Code: [Select]
private sub Initialize()
 UI.CreatePublic()
 'UI_RegistDebugEventProc()
 PTM_BackupUIProperty(0x4003, "Canon", 6)
 PTM_BackupUIProperty(0x4004, "Canon PowerShot SX110 IS", 32)
 PTM_BackupUIProperty(0x4005, "Comment", 30)
end sub

Warning: it can be dangerous, wait a comment of one of the CHDK gurus.
However, I ran this script on my old A710 and now I have a new SX110  :D.

edit: spelling.

Does it matter what version/revision of CHDK I'm running for that script? If it makes any difference, in Menu -> Miscellaneous stuff -> Show build info, it displays the following:

CHDK Ver: CHDK 0.9.8-788
FW Vers: 100b

and some other stuff which I figure are unimportant for this.

The script ewavr posted is canon basic, not CHDK. See http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Canon_Basic

You could do the same from CHDK if you build it with http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/LUA/LUA_Reference/Native_Function_Calls

As for the safety (or not) of this, I don't have much to add. I haven't looked at those functions. If you do decide to try it, I'd suggest taking a full firmware dump first. You can use the canon basic dumper, since you'll need to prepare a script disk anyway.

All I can say is WOW!!

I dumped the firmware and then ran your script, and now it's FIXED! Thank you so much. It's funny how Canon, when I emailed them, wanted me to pay for them to fix it!

Again, thank you very much, and all of you have a great day!
