[QUOTE="RUFUSREDDOG, post: 749261, member: 18541"]My brother declares them unfixable. He was Gen. Westmorelands photographer in Viet Nam and a Grad from the Army Camera Repair School. He sold his camera repair biz some years ago and now only fixes his own 120 Rollie's (41 of them) and advises tossing any kaput digital camera in the trash as they cost more to repair, parts can't be found for older models and are better replaced with better/cheaper new stuff. My Sony DSC-F717 Cyber shot, the one with (as my sister, the photographer, declares to be "phalic" because of the huge Carl Zeiss 10Xzoom) really nice Vario-Sonnar lens. I miss that wonderful optic even though it was stuck in front of only a 5 meg box. I did not "do" anything to it. It lived in a well paded Halliburton for it's entire life and spent most of it's life on a tripod. After spending $70 for a new Sony battery find it is now it a doorstop. BTW~GREAT PHOTOS. Keep up the good work.:thumb:[/QUOTE]
