Have you tried re-flashing (reloading) your Firmware in the camera ? Mike |

The camera developer monitors the threads, so I do not need to pass on comments. The camera is 6 months old, so not sure if this goes beyond a normal replacement period or not, especially not knowing under what extremes the camera has been used. All things break.... eventually! |

I assume you mean a program, not firmware. Not enough information! None of the correct downloads should corrupt your computer. Can you be more specific? What did you download (crystalDiskmark?)?. What computer operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7)? What happened... e.g what error messages, system crash, what? What did you do to "fix" it?

I don't think the lifted track is bad at all. I've remove the glue remains with lots of acetone and soaking... The CMOS tracks are very long and I expect I can solder the cable without repairing the track, maybe I'll have to add a short extension. I'll have to clean up the tracks a bit first. Also I like timetec's idea about adding an FFC connector - too bad it would be non-standard. I don't know how he found that site, and most probably they won't sell one or two samples anyway! |

But I have a question. What happens when you turn on your camera? Which LED is lit? I don't have a jumbo, but does the yellow LED blink or is it solid yellow (might be another color on the jumbo). Does the shutter button react? |

Then you would have to find somebody who can solder the new module for you. An electrician can't do this sort of work. You need to find an electronics technician. Soldering the new module is the easy part - the difficult part is removing the old cable, and I can tell you, that could be very difficult if your cable is glued like mine was. It may be safer to cut the cable between the wires and desolder wire by wire. In any case, you would need to find someone with good soldering skills. It is impossible to do this if you have never soldered before. And remember, even if you find someone to solder the new CMOS module to the board, there is no guarantee that the camera will work - maybe something else got damaged when the cable broke - like in the video. I hate to say this, but in the end it would most probably be cheaper to buy a new camera. Not very encouraging, I know. Thanks for the video link - that is exactly what my #11 keychain does. Did that happen before the cable broke in half? If yes, then I believe this confirms my suspicion that the solid yellow LED indicates a broken CMOS module cable. |

My #11 has just recently stopped charging, only had it a few months and probably only charged it about 3 or 4 times in that period.
The red LED fails to come on no matter what lead I use, and I have sometimes heard a very high pitched squeal coming form inside the case. is this likely to be a battery problem or something more serious. It is a V2 board judging from the pictures on the first post great thread by the way and have just ordered a #16 in case this one is dead as I now need to use it. |

You can buy new batteries from the original seller, but if you can't solder you'll have to strip the wire ends and connect them together and wrap them in electrical tape to prevent shorting. Maybe dip them in epoxy to make a solid joint before insulating them would also be a good idea. |
