as in things like DVD or cd players, coffeemakers those sorts of electronics? In the case of the DVD player it is a better quality Panasonic model, so I may ask them about out of warranty work. Other ideas? Thanks, Karen
Karen, On my Nikon D7100 camera, I managed to break the little hatch that covers the SD cards. I paid around $1250 for the camera body about ten years ago, so it is not disposable. I looked into getting it fixed. Henry's would not fix it, but they pointed out that I could order the piece and fix it myself. I did so. I have several sets of tiny screwdrivers here, which I absolutely needed. I suppose I could have ordered the part and brought it to a Repair Café. If I had not lost the hatch, I probably could have fixed it with a cyanoacrylate adhesive like Crazy Glue. Now, I have a lens with a mount that no longer attaches to the camera. I paid $600 for it, so I am looking into repair. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
