Wayne Posted July 5, 2015 Share #21 Posted July 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had a good friend who was an auto mechanic. Not a factory trained technician, but rather, one of those mechanics that just seems to know, by instinct, how to get it back on the road. One day, over a beer, we were discussing wiring harnesses and the complications modern electronics had introduced to his profession: Me: So how do you cope with finding a short, or any other problem, in these complex harnesses? I mean, sometimes the problem is intermittent. He: I don't know, I've seen guys have to resort to jumping the fuse and waiting until they smell smoke to find the problem. Me: Your kidding me! Holy Cow! That seems like a dangerous proposition. Just imagine the other problems it could create. He: You know, some guys just don't mind it when they find themselves in a real bind. They almost seem to enjoy it. It was at that point that I realized, I am inadequate. I mean, I can get myself in a bind.....But I never enjoy it. My camera would go in for service. I'd gladly pay the courageous man/woman their price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdw Posted July 8, 2015 Share #22 Posted July 8, 2015 I've done it with older Ms, but it's not really worth the hassle risking to bend the top body or otherwise not getting it feeling 'perfect' again. I pay to get it done now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted July 8, 2015 Share #24 Posted July 8, 2015 NO! Come on Billy. You have more than one. Take one for the team and dismantle it. Do a video on YouTube. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo63 Posted July 8, 2015 Share #25 Posted July 8, 2015 I fixed cameras as my full time job for a while (mainly warranty work on Olympus P+S) I am fairly mechanically minded. I would not attempt to dismantle my M though - even with a service manual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
