If you don't hear it clicking....sounds like you may have to bring it in. Are you out of the warranty period?

For some reason I never saw this or LunaZ's response. I read up on the issue and was able to use my fingernail to lift it up while pushing the release button. I was able to get it working enough to sell it but then the buyer started having issues. I never registered it with Canon so I asked him to try to do that and go through the warranty if possible. If not, I told him that what I read was that the spring needed to be cleaned and maybe use a drop of WD40 on a Q-Tip on the spring.
I'm now having withdrawals.
