Thanks to Cosmin and Salvador I have successfully installed the zoom rocker on my GL2.
First, I cleaned the zoom key assembly following Cosmin's instructions. It didn't help.
So, I ordered the part just as Salvador indicated. The Canon representative in the parts department was a very surprised that I had the part number. I told her about this thread and she said she would look at it.
I followed Cosmin and Salvador's instructions and took my time. I carefully observed the location of each screw. I have no training or experience with electronics.
Salvador's 5 steps are very important, including the paper cups for the screws.
Salvador's fifth step about the brown cable I did a little differently. I simply did not unplug it. I had my son hold the side door cover near the camera body as I worked with the zoom rocker cable.
For the first time in more than a year I now have a working zoom key.
Thank you Cosmin and Salvador.
By the way the cost of the zoom key including three day shipping was about US$21.
