Appears the on off switch has gone out on each. Can I buy a switch,or tech info,or can someone repair them for less than $55 each? The repair shops want $95 including shipping. I can prepay or maybe take them to an Atlanta or W.Va repair facility. Thanks for any ideas. They are too good to throw away. Hello.I have 4 Fuji cameras: Fine Pix S3000, S3100, and 2 other similar.

Thanks for hosting this blog! Much needed! I've got two broken digital cameras; both problems are lens-related. Have you had much luck in fixing lenses that will not retract? What has worked for you? I looked up on the internet what to do, a couple of websites state taking the batteries out and putting them back in... which seems pretty... obvious. They also recommend air dusting and prying the lens shut. Any other ideas? Hey! Thanks for hosting this blog! Much needed! I’ve got two broken digital cameras; both problems are lens-related.

If you can't fix it yourself you can sell it online for something at least or you can find somebody like ME who offers digital camera repairs at an AFFORDABLE price!

I ordered from LCD Technology(Joshua Mcvey) almost 2 months ago still nothing. He contacted me wanting proof of payment so I sent it and now he will not reply to my emails. Their free shipping sounds good but it is not worth anything if they rip you off!!! Thanks Chris I think I could have fixed my camera but I never got my part(lcd).

Except for a few times that we have actually own a digital camera, we have never had need to fix them. Whenever a camera is needed we will more than likely buy a cheap disposable one. As far as video go we do have an hd camcorder, but we never take the time to get it out and take a picture with it. I will be looking now into fixing some of the old cameras we do have however Cameras have never really been my thing.
