RE: how to almost ruin your camera & lens

in #life6 years ago

Whew! Glad the camera was okay. I recently had a problem with my long lens. It wouldn’t function. I found that taking it to a repair place would be an exorbitant cost. But, my tech-phenom son checked the diagnostics report and found it wasn’t communicating with the camera cpu. He reset it and fixed it for me.

Sort:  

wow! good to know. I am very glad it was ok as well. I am happy for you that you a techno savoy son to help you out with your camera issue

He’s brilliant at that kind of thing. In fact, this is the second time he fixed my camera. The first time, the camera had set for two years completely dead – we sought repair estimates but they ranged from $500 to $800; I only paid $650 for the camera new a three years before it broke. Anyway, my son opened it up, found the problems and repaired them. The camera has worked perfectly until the other day, when he fixed the problem again.

He also repaired his own iPad. The screen shattered. We ordered the replacement kit and he fixed it all on his own. He’s also cobbled together bits of old computers to build his own server system. And, he’s always bringing dead computers back to life for his friends at school.
