SOLVED Err Flashing, Flash doesn't pop up, no AF, no DoF preview

Hi Technician X

Thats a new Idear, I always thought about the Shutter, but as it worked several times, I had some douts.

Do you have any more Infos what could break in there,

I had disassambled the whole camera, but I didn't take the aparture unit apart...

Best regards

ULY

Problem is (other than being crappy part from Chinese subcontractor with poor quality control) usually in the phase switch (switch that tells camera what is going on) in aperture unit. Dirty, worn from use, loose contacts (plastic rivet breaks). While we have attempted to fix them in the past, we find it is a more reliable repair to replace the unit as it is not expensive.

SOLVED - Finally, It is working again!

Technician X was right... it was the phase switch in the Aparture Unit.

I found this thread:

I had exactly the same probleme:

The contact plate on the ecoding gear wasn't properly fixed.

One of the plastic pins werent melted down on the contact plate, so it was loose.

one drop of superglue solved the Problem.

After reassambling everything works fine again.

Thank you for your Help.
