SX280 lens member at the iris is jumping under zooming. Resulting in poor focus at some areas.

And it is very annoying. Is it possible to repair?

One, most Powershot cameras [and similar ones by other manufacturers] are not easily disassembled for repair.

Two, even if it could be repaired, you could buy at least 2 used ones for the same cost to repair.

The ribbon cable which drives the stabilizer, broke down, teared.

I could manage to cut out the vertical coil, and shortened it, it will do. {no vertical stabilisation, and vertically loose lense, especially when hold upward or downward. And E23 errors, just as it has been.

Did not disassemble the optics, i guess the other end of the ribbon is soldered, and even the cable itself is not available for purchase.
