Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus not working problem DIY repair
If you're looking to fix your lens but you want to save money from bringing it to a professional repair, you can actually repair it by yourself. You only need a correct tools and patience. Good luck!
The good thing about this is that the replacement flex cable or gears are so cheap.
I got the autofocus flex cable here (Philippines): tinyurl.com/yxen2d9b
If you've set the correct camera settings and the autofocus isn't working, there should only be two reasons why.
When i set the switch to manual and I manually adjust the rotating manual ring, the focus works, but when I set the swich to AF and i half-press the shutter button, nothing happens.
Early indication is, because the manual focus works, then the gear should be in good working condition. Because if the gears are bad, the manual ring should be stock or the manual focus won't work at all. But since it does, it should not be because of the gear.
The two reasons why your lens isn't autofocusing:
It is because of the broken gear
or
It is because of the broken autofocus flex cable

I've just successfully repaired my failed lense by following these step by step instructions. Cost me less than £4. Thank you so much 😊

great explanation but not attempting this on my own

I'd never attempt this on my own, but the info would help me advise the camera shop/repair person on where to trouble shoot.

Very useful instructions thank you. There’s no need to remove the zoom rubber if your very careful. I followed the first 6 minutes of the video and then just removed and replaced the ribbon. Works like new now.

This is very informative. My friend from work (the one who got me into this camera) is having problems with his camera. He said to me that his camera is broken. Thank you very much! This will help my friend out

What upsets me is that this is SO COMMON in this lens, what the heck was Canon thinking? Is this "planned obsolescence"? I've used my camera very little, 7,000 shots between three lenses and this one, you can tell how the auto-focus ribbon bends and gets straight, then bends and gets straight EVERY TIME one moves the zoom. I am not an industrial engineer but can tell this was NOT GOING TO LAST. Canon should recall this lens model and give us one without this brutal design flaw.

The most delicate description is missing when you reassembly the zoom lento. Tricky job, I have been lucky.

Great video - thank you. Wasn’t a fan of the background music or title sequence, and greater depth of field or focusing would help in places,but otherwise very helpful. I will watch with the sound off and scrub back/forward while attempting this repair.

Great video! Could you tell what kind of screwdriver you used?

Hi, I have a Nikon D7100 with 18-140 lens, its auto focus is great in viewfinder but RECENTLY it doesnt focus in Liveview for photo/video. What do you think is wrong with it?
