PowerShot A530/A540 overheating problem

Canon has discovered that in cameras where the opening/closing spring on the inside of the battery cover sticks out beyond its regular position, if a battery is put into these cameras and the battery cover is closed, it causes a short-circuit and the following phenomena occur:

1) The bottom of the camera becomes extremely hot near the battery cover.
2) Batteries that are loaded are depleted quickly.
3) The number of shots that can be taken becomes extremely small.


Warning: The opening/closing spring and the metal parts on the inside of the battery cover become extremely hot. So to avoid burns, please DO NOT TOUCH THEM.
