It’s time for my faithful camera which recorded so many memories for me over the past 5 years to retire… courtesy of my sister who managed to destroy it in 1 day! :’(
The lens it jammed up halfway… can’t retract into the body…can’t extend out either… and it makes a really disturbing loud noise if you try to turn it on. Sigh… sakit hati giler. This was my first digital camera… worked at Aunty Chua’s nursery to save up for it… Good thing it wasn’t my brand new LX3… if not I will really yell blue murder.
I dismantled it and found that there are little broken bits inside the gears that enable the zooming in and out are stuck… something inside is probably broken and lodged somewhere jamming up the mechanism. Don’t know how to open the rest of the parts without forgetting how to assemble them back together again… so I just put everything back and closed it up.
Anyway… here are some pics if you’re curious to see what the camera looks like inside…
You’ve been a wonderful companion… May you rest in peace…
