repair of Kodak ls443
Think it's my turn for things to break, any way my Kodak LS443 started
to take blank photos last week. I finally got round to taking it apart, only to find the little flex cable inside the lens has broken, hence causing the shutter not to open and close and therefore causing no photos , any one know where I can get spares, Kodak could not help me. Thanks Andrew -- To reply via email, first reverse the address below then replace the (at) with @ and the (dot) with . moc(tod)xepip(tod)lsd(ta)spuorgswen_werdna |

Carriage, new dock station etc etc plus a new guarantee. I don't think you'll have much luck with spares unless you can pick one up second hand. Maybe a bootsale or ad in a home PC magazine? Good little camera and a shame to waste it. |

It is possible to repair flex cables. The procedure is pretty similar to brain surgery though - you slice off the outside of the flex cable, to get to one side of the copper, then solder a flexible wire link across the break. It may be easier to wire between the ends of the connec.tor. I did this for one laptop LCD connector. It's not an easy task. |

I have a broken LS443 (refuses to focus). Will take it apart tonight to
see if I can fix it, and if not then you can have it for the cost of postage. Tis a shame as it was a damned good little camera. Seri |
