Problems with Control Wheel on Canon G11
There have been reports by many Canon G11 owners of malfunctions of the Control Wheel on the back.
This problem often is due to a lubricant used on the G11.
Cleaning the contacts underneath the Control Wheel will resume normal operation of the camera.
I use an electrical contract cleaner I purchase from Amazon. See photo
I don't take the camera apart at all.
I merely use the thin straw-like attachment to the spray can and inject a small amount of Contact Cleaner into the space under the Control Wheel, using the space that is around the circumference of the wheel.
Spray, rotate to distribute, spray, rotate to distribute, etc.
Only a very tiny amount of Contact Cleaner will be necessary.
Shutter Speed Problem with Canon G11?
If you are in M mode or Tv (Time Value mode or in fact Shutter Speed mode) and the Control Wheel does not seem to be changing your Shutter Speed properly:
There was a design change between the G10 and G11 and it is possible for lubricant to be placed onto a contact, rendering the contact dysfunctional.
There is a gap around the circumference of the Control Wheel that allows a very brief single squirt of WD Contact Cleaner.
One squirt, then rotate the wheel in both directions for a few seconds.

Canon power shot SD1200 IS elpf won't retract
This is a delicate operation but you can try this: tap the camera lens up on a towel over a hard surface (counter top or floor) while you expect the lens to retract as in turning off. It may be enough jarring force to get cams back in the helix that moved the lens. Hit it hard and flat. IF that doesnt work, try tapping the lens down while it tries to retract. I have heard that people get so frustrated with it that they slam the camera lens up on a desk and that fixes it!

Take the camera to a specialist repairman! It sounds like the impact when you dropped it, (or when you straightened it), has damaged the internal parts and electronics.
