Olympus Repair

[Paul Sharman]

I Have managed to drop my 5060 in its housing on to concreat[prat!!]

The Housing is fine! been to 40m empty with no leaks!!

But.

The custom white ballance button has been pushed into the camera boddy causing obvous complecations!!

Can anyboddy suggest a good outfit to contact regarding a repair?

I brought it from one of the large online outfits who dont seem interested in repairs.

Cheers.
Paul.

Bad luck m8, I'd probably find myself in a similar state, I bought my 5060 in the US.

I bought my housing from Digital Depot (www.digitaldepot.co.uk), they sell factory refurbed cameras and may be a good place to start.

Have you tried contacting OLY in the UK directly?

Its me own fault! If you will go around throwing them at the floor!
Oly Uk responded at the speed of light!
They will provide estemate and repair in around 2 to 3 weeks.
Apparently they send them to Portugal for repair!

Cheers,
Paul.

NP,
That's good news, viz will be sh1te for the next 2-3 weeks anyway

BTW, a tip for these housings, the supplied lanyard looks a bit wimpy to me, and the bit of plastic that you loop it through is equally so and does not allow a fatter lanyard.

If you undo the 4 screws that hold the mounting plate for the tripod/flash bracket, you can get a more 'manly' lanyard under the plate.
