my daughter drop my camera and now it turns on for a while then it turns off but none of the buttons work..only the on/off button Yes, I also think the camera has sustained some sort of permanent damage.
But, I wouldn't recommend taking it to a service centre, because it could easily cost almost, or just as much, as a new camera.
The A520 is over 2 years old...and has already been superceded quite a numer of times.
Really, your best and cheapest option would probably be to buy a newer model.
Good luck... it has taken some damage from the impact... do not try to fix it yourself. Take it to a canon service centre ASAP...
yes it might cost more than a new cam... but still, at least get an estimate how much it's gonna cost for a repair.. |
