Dont think theres much you can do yourself, looks like a visit to the camera shop, personaly its an issue I could live with, it could be expensive to rectify.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I can live with it - just hoping that there might be a 'fix'.
AFAIK LED's are generally reliable things, so I wondered if there could be dirt in there obstructing the LED (unlikely with the excellent sealing) or maybe a 'dry' ribbon cable connection or solder joint. As the camera goes in and out doors frequently (especially in this cold weather) this could be a cause?
BTW, the LED didn't just stop working completely one day - it failed over a day or two, partly and dimly lit.

I have given the camera a clean as far as I can without taking it apart, to try to eliminate any dirt issues. But as far as I can work out, the LED's are behind the pentaprism, mounted underneath where the built-in flash unit sits?
Anyone had this problem, and any ideas?
Thanks.
