The hinge latch is broken on my Canon Powershot A590 IS can this part be replaced or fixed?
alisonbforman46 when you say the “hinge latch” hope you are referring to the battery cover. that is the only hinge I know off on this camera. It will depend on where and how it is broken. Check the illustration and let us know.
The part number for the cover is CM1-4575-000 and it is available (costly) I’d check for a used replacement at places like this
