I had a similar problem with a Canon camcorder. I replaced it with a new LCD screen from Rongstar Digital, and it works! Saved a $350 camera for $20! However, installing the new LCD was very difficult, and is not meant to be done by amateurs. You have to be sure the tiny connectors and screws are placed exactly right and in the right order. Don't blame the seller if it does not work!

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Press the playback button (right-pointing triangle). Touch and hold MENU (the button at the bottom right of the screen). Touch "English" and then the curving arrow in the top right of the screen.

In custom and manual, you're supposed to make the decisions about aperture and shutter speed....are you?

This problem is so common, especially with Canon Powershot cameras like your IXUS 210, that there's a whole blog about it here:

It seems that the camera gives this error when it has problems reading/writing the card. The fixes they suggest there are to do with cleaning the contacts. It's pretty easy to clean the contacts on the memory card, but much harder to clean the camera. I don't suggest following the instruction to spray cleaner into the slot... that sounds like a recipe for getting it all over the inside of the camera!

I would start by cleaning the memory card's contacts. You can either use a solvent such as Methyl Hydrate and a Kleenex, or you can actually rub the contacts clean with an eraser (or if you're British you can use a solvent such as Methylated Spirit and a tissue, or rub the contacts clean with a rubber). It's probably worth looking inside the camera too, to see if any of the contacts are obviously bent in the card slot. I've seen that in a Nintendo DS which is similar. If a contact is bent, nothing's going to work unless you can get it back in place.

sounds like an issue with the sd card itself. you may have to reformat it. or CHECK the sd card make sure its not stuckin the the lock position. let me know if that helps.

Press the FUNC/SET button. Use up/down to select "My Colors" (the palette icon). Use left/right to select "B/W" for black-and-white then press FUNC/SET.
