Canon Powershot - Low Battery Icon Fix

How To on fixing your Canon Powershot that displays a flashing red low battery warning even when you've got enough charge in your batteries. Here I show the cause being down a dropped contact (which I won't fix) and how to do a fix with just a pair of pliers.

You'll also see a few false alarms (bloopers) in my attempt to fix the problem but by seeing these you'll get a better idea how much you need to bend the contact

I'm impressed with the videography. Who's holding the camera? Are there two people involved in making this video? Great job!
