after weeks with my camera not working, i decided to ask around.. i went to two other places in central london asking opinion.. both told me that wouldnt be worth to repair my camera..
when i got home, i sat down, looked at the camera and took my set of tinny screw drivers, that one from the 99p shop, started to unscrew the body... i took two screws off and regret it and started to screw back in..
AND PRESSED ON AND THE CAMERA WORKS FINE AGAIN!!
cant believe it! they were going to charge me 160 quid to push a screw back in!!
don't try this at home

nice one thanks!
i tried the battery before taking to the camera clinic..
its just crazy that the repair costs more than a new camera!

thanks guys!
i'll try everything that was told here!
much appreciated!
let you guys know whats the score

hi guys!
my trusty pentax q started to switch off just few seconds after i switch on..
i took it, advised by jessops guy, to the camera clinic in great portland street, central london.. just had a call from them asking 160 quid to fix it.. they say my camera needs a new image stabilizer.
i found brand new bodys only of pentax q on ebay for 90 quid!!!
does any of you guys know any other person that could have a look at my camera?
i believe camera clinic its over pricing the repair!
thanks for reading!
