Its general hardware, and about the only place I could think of fitting this thread.
So I've had it years and now it started acting up, turning itself on and off, faking taking a picture (stuff goes but no flash and nothing saves to flash) so I decided to open it up.
It looks like the little metal cover that makes contact on the button to take a picture is bent completely inward and is always, or 90% of the time making contact. I'd replace it but I don't know what its called and they are extremely small solder points.
I can't see anything else that could be wrong with it and I'd show you a picture of the peice if it wasn't connected to the only camera I own :\
I was hoping maybe someone knew maybe another forum about camera repair or some sites with some people who do funny things to their old cameras. I was thinking if it really is gone maybe I can finally make that scope rail mounted camera for my Aug with its carcase.
Thanks for any help or info
