OK, let's make this topic interesting to you,
what is the type of your camera and what is the problem?

After answering this question the most
possible is to get one of those answers:

Electrolytic capacitors (manufacturer's wrong design(in my opinion))
Too complicated mecha problem, send it to a specialist (authorized)
Too high cost to repair (change a TGA PCB, need to buy from manufacturer)
Can be repaired even by you but needs alignment (from authorized)
.....
Rotten by water or got sand in the mechanism (sorry, your fault)
Dropped down and now got a problem (sorry, your fault)
Already messed up opened by you (sorry, your fault)

I guess this topic is 95% interesting because all repaimen agree that
electronic devices are made for one use and many times does not
worth repairing. I do not know if there are technitians that charge 70$/hour
but if consumers prefer the manufacturer's service have to pay this money
because authorized services have a lot of high tech equipment and are forced
from the manufacturer to buy and buy and buy literarture tools etc. etc.

Now how indipendand services can repair without this literature, bulletings
and alignment tools and software? I thank google newsgroups and eBAy.
Also all those websites that share knowledge, schematics sell spare parts
etc.
