Dropped Ixus 95 IS - now the card is locked!

    I dropped my Ixus 95 last week. The impact caused the plastic bit that locks in the CF card and battery to become trapped in the metal outer shell. To my knowledge, it was kind of still working at that point.

    To release the plastic battery cover, I carefully took the screws keeping the outer shell in place and angled it slightly so I could pop out the battery cover. I was fairly sure I put the right screws back in the right place, everything seemed back to normal except for a few scratches.

    I turned the camera on and a warning read 'Card Locked!'. I never flicked the 'Lock' switch on the SD card. After a week, it began working again, so I tested it by removing and re-inserting the card and I'm back to the original problem.

    Does anyone have any ideas about what's gone wrong or how to fix it? The internet's not coming up with a whole lot for me.

    I took out the battery and SD card and blew into the slot. I had read that even tiny pieces of dust/sand can get into the internal card lock switch. It worked. Strange.
