Thanks Hardgravity.
The service manual is much more detailed than the Samsung GX10 service manual that I am working with presently.
Regards & thanks.

Anybody know where I can get a circuit diagram for the K10D?.

Using the donor camera,I discovered that the small ball bearing nestles between a small hole in the end of the metal lever of the switch & the camera body. It's a very crude arrangement IMHO, but it works. Using the service manual, it is quite easy to replace this switch. Firstly remove the base,(11 small screws)& then the front (6 screws), 1 of which is in the battery compartment base & 2 concealed under the rubber cover on the camera front.
Thanks for the hints & advice received from the posters above.

Thanks Bob. The "ball bearing" is so tiny it could even be a rogue blob of solder. I will dismantle the donor camera, paying very careful attention to the presence of any "ball bearings" in the vicinity of the focus mode switch. Thanks once again.

I recently broke off the plastic focus mode lever on my K10D when removing the camera from its case. I disassembled the case as per manual in order to replace the lever. I've taken the broken switch out & am temporarily using the camera on manual focus. There was a tiny ball bearing loose in the bottom of the case. Is this part of the switch assembly?. I have purchased a broken KT 10D to rob for parts, but was just a bit worried about this ball bearing before Ireplace the switch. Has anybody any ideas? Thanks.
