Can't help you with the repair, but I will say that you should be very careful about shipping your camera in or out of India for repair. It is entirely possible that you could be charged import duty on the value of the camera, and it can take a long time to clear customs.

 

Your best option would probably be to head to somewhere nearby like Singapore for a weekend and buy a second-hand M8 (or indeed a film M) as a replacement while yours is repaired. You might also find used M8's in India, but I'm guessing the price would not be so good.

Sorry to hear about your camera.

 

maybe start with a call to the local dealer. I have had some shockingly good expereinces of having stuff fixed on the spot (more or less) in New Delhi years ago by the "sony broadcast center" take the "official" with a grain of salt. but they fixed up a sony betacam just fine.
