Where to Get a Camera Fixed
reverse-engineered it until understanding what was happening - power supply problems!
I removed the battery, connected the camera to a bench power supply, and it worked like
a charm... I put in a new battery - problem fixed! The explanation: The battery had a
manufacturing defect, manifesting itself in very high internal resistance, while the
voltage at no load was perfectly normal. When my friend replaced the battery, he bought
the new one at the same shop, and got one from the same manufacturing batch, with the
same defect!!!
So, don't take anything for granted.

Southern California? Camera Tech of Anaheim for all old cameras. The guy has been
doing it for 30 years and does a great job for a great price. Doubt he'd be too good with
the newer stuff, but if it's a mechanical, as opposed to an electrical, problem, bring it in.

My Canon T90 needed a major overhaul a couple of years ago. The Camera Clinic in
Reno, NV did a great job getting my favorite camera back into service.

In the Atlanta area, I highly recommend Camera Repair Japan (CRJ) in Norcross, just off
Jimmy Carter Blvd. Excellent pricing and service. Compared to other service I've gotten,
they certainly went the extra mile in CLA'ing my gear; it's the cleanest it's been since it
came out of the factory 20 years ago. Tel: (770) 849-0555, Fax: (770) 449-7999, Email
CRJCO@aol.com. I doubt you will be disappointed.
