Teardown of the Canon PowerShot A3100 IS point-and-shoot camera.
12.1 MP, 1/2.3" CCD sensor, optical image stabilizer. Released in January 2010. PCB date code is 3rd week of 2010.
[[File:Canon PowerShot A3100 IS.jpg|none|thumb|Canon PowerShot A3100 IS]]
The teardown subject was dead, with missing battery, and won't power on when 3.7V is applied to the battery terminals.
Technical details, including firmware dumps, on the [https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/A3100IS CHDK Wiki].
No service manual found.

The parts are grouped based on (guessed) functional blocks.
=== CPU/DSP ===
Canon '''DIGIC III'''
* Main SoC
* Marking CK4-1127 E142C2 Z55
Samsung '''K8P6415UQB''' 4Mx16 NOR Flash Memory, 16 MB
Elpida '''D51321DBH-6ETS-F''' 16Mx32 DDR333 Mobile RAM, 64 MB
'''351-9K3''' 8-pin package RTC? (near 32k crystal)
=== CCD Driver ===
Analog Devices '''DI9004''' (also found in Sanyo VPC-S1415)
* Marking: BBCZ #1008 1808576.1
* CCD frontend w/ ADC and likely also timing generator
=== Audio/Video ===
Sanyo '''LA74310LP''' Audio Interface and Video Driver
* Marking A74310 0PX0
=== Lens/Image Stabilization ===
LG (Renesas?) '''R2J30507''' 01110B optical image stabilization driver
* Similar IC in Sony W120, Canon PowerShot G9
2x Murata '''ENC-03''' series, angular rate sensors (SE501/SE502)

[[File:Canon PowerShot A3100 IS debug connector.jpg|thumb|Unpopulated connector, likely with JTAG and UART]]
== Hacking ==
Unpopulated connector located on back of board
* Candidate for JTAG and debug UART
* Pin-out likely same as documented [https://web.archive.org/web/20200302085303/https://nada-labs.net/2014/finding-jtag-on-a-canon-elph100hs-ixus115/ here].
