Disassembled my camera to convert to IR...
Have you got a close up of the broken connector? Not very close, but here it is the one below the eyepiece (unbroken): Once the platen is removed you can see the ribbon coming out of the top of the sensor module. It is quite a tight loop of ribbon: The little sliding 'wedge' that locks ...

Disassembled my camera to convert to IR...
WEll done so far, extreme bravery award follows! Have you remembered to compensate for the focus point of IR light? Unfortunately this will also vary with lens and with the focal length set on some zoom lenses as none of them are corrected for IR light. However, perhaps if you use a prime lens...

brought a new camera today of another brand....
Well it's quite an old camera that! I wouldn't call it *crap*, my brother in law takes and sells excellent photos with his!! Released about the same time as the K10D, in one test I read they had to bring in a D200 to compete with the K10D. John But i believe the D80 and the k10D used the same sen...

Released about the same time as the K10D, in one test I read they had to bring in a D200 to compete with the K10D. John But i believe the D80 and the k10D used the same sensor though. It was between those two for me so i did some research. Yes I believe so, Sony, the D200 also. It was the featur...

Sensor scratch!!
Hi. I left my k-5 for sensor cleaning because of the dust I posted before here. The shop could not get rid of it and they think it could be a scratch. I bought it on ebay and I took the test photo on the second day or third day after I received the camera. My first question is if it is not a s...

I think you get 45 days to lodge a SNAD on eBay. Leave it to the seller to sort. Get your next from a shop like SRS. pages.ebay.com/help/buy/item-not-received.html

Sensor scratch!!
I see a problem in that how can you make a complaint without actually knowing what the fault is? "It might be a scratch" isn't very strong and the shop who cleaned it could have scratched it themselves anyway. I think you need to know that it actually is a scratch and then decide whether or not it w...

Sensor scratch!!
Thanks for your reply. Then, 45 days return period will be over. I bought it on 29 May. I am sure the shop did not do it because when I first took it to the shop I saw it there. Thanks.

Sensor scratch!!
38 days since May 29. If the mark was there when you got it and you can not definitively find out what it is and its a significant fault I'd be very very tempted to let the seller resolve the issue. There is no impact on a SNAD of the seller being a private or a business as it doesn't rely on ...

Sensor scratch!!
If you can see a mark on the sensor, and you can't remove it by any normally accepted means, it's probably a scratch. Dust particles that look awful in images are near invisible on the sensor to the naked eye.

Sensor scratch!!
How does the scratch manifest itself in photos taken? I presume this is a separate issue to the dust spot which you talked about on a previous thread.

Sensor scratch!!
Hi. It is the same spot I was consulting here. The spot turned out to be a possible scratch. I need a thorough check for it. Thanks.

Sensor scratch!!
I also informed the seller and he seemed very upset about it. He already contacted ebay and says they think it is my fault and he will not refund. It looks quite messy. I may need to pay for the repair. I just want the camera working o.k. I like the camera and the picture quality. It is not go...

Sensor scratch!!
He already contacted ebay and says they think it is my fault and he will not refund. I wouldn't take his word for it. In my experience contacting ebay and getting a non-automated reply takes much longer than 1 day, so I would confirm it myself if I were you.

Sensor scratch!!
If it goes to eBay deciding you'll presumably need some evidence to counteract the long delay before raising the issue and of course the seller may well claim user damage. I mentioned the time before, in the context that business sellers must accept returns within 14 days, whereas private sellers...

Sensor scratch!!
Of course they will say the issue is your fault. If the issue was there from your first images which, hopefully you will still have, then it should be a matter if sticking to your guns. Follow the process. If the seller doesn't resolve you can proceed to the full SNAD process and leave it to ...

Sensor scratch!!
Hi. Thanks for your replies. I will send it to JP ltd today and see what they say. I may need to inform ebay this issue to save some time not to go over 45 days period considering the advise given above. I really hope it is a sensor stain or dust. This is a lovely camera and I want to keep it. ...

Hi. I sent the camera in to JP last Thursday. I hope things go well and get the camera back sound and working well. I will give more details when I get it back. Thanks.

Sensor scratch!!
Hi. I phoned JP repair centre today and heard that the spot was a sensor stain. I spent around 60 pounds to find out what it was. However, I am getting a new camera. They are sending it to me tomorrow and I will receive it on Thursday. Huge relief and very pleased with the service and the result...
