Today I got a “for parts” off ebay and the seller stated that when he put in a Sony battery it would display: Batterie...

I recently got this camera a few days ago from ebay and I the issue is that the control dial value set at one value or if...

I recently got a broken electronic viewfinder (evf) facing glass a6000 off ebay and I will soon replace it with a viewfinder vf unit assembly from water damaged camera. I found this View Finder VF Unit Assembly from ebay which has changed my mind about replacing the whole evf since it seems that the focusing glass is a separate part than having to replace the evf completely. Found a VF Viewfinder block with display screen Assy that I could also use but since I have the water damaged silver a6000 body I plan to disassemble it and replace it’s vf unit instead. I have the service manual if it helps but I do find the Sony α6000 Motherboard Replacement ifixit more helpful to disassemble the camera.

I had to buy a top block with flash and mode/control dial assemblies intact. I also found the service manual which wasn’t as helpful as I hoped. https://elektrotanya.com/sony_nex-6l2_sm.pdf/download.html I took the top block off and served one of the assemblies because it was under another assemblies and the camera was stuck in manual setting until I fixed it last night. Interesting part is when it was stuck in manual it couldn’t tell if the flash was up because of micro switches that are part of the assemblies of the mode/control dial.

Parts can be found on eBay but the question is if the mode and control dial still work? Why I ask is that there are sensors on the mode/control dial assembly that reports if the flash is down or up. Recently I broke part of the assembly which now my camera is stuck in manual and the flash won’t fire.

I wasn’t able to find the eos 70d service manual but did find the eos 60d service manual instead and because these cameras are similar might help: https://elektrotanya.com/canon_eos-d60_sm.pdf/download.html

I have never gotten an Apple Macbook Pro that didn’t suffer a problem but also I’m never going to be a sole windows user since it’s easier to run other os’s in virtual. Sure things happen to things you buy and you should get them fixed as soon as you can send them in regardless if it’s free or for a price. Most cases Apple with replace it since I currently have a Macbook Pro 2017 that is suffering from similar issue (not as bad). Not sure why Apple hasn’t started their replacement plan for the 2017 model. Maybe it hasn’t gotten to critical mass yet. I do have an older macbook pro 2009 that suffered from glue failure and I didn’t find out about how apple was fixing it for a limited time until it was too late.

Better to invest in some Spudger tools and working the top case off since it can snap in two very easy.

I was successful with the dissembling the camera and will need to invest in a working logic board and maybe something that is part of the shutter. I was hoping the camera would be an easy fix but sometimes this isn’t this case.

I have been wondering what path I will take when I replace my battery contacts part and this looks like an ideal guide for how I can do it. I wondered why you don’t discharge the capacitor before removing ribbon cables. When I removed the top block off my nex-6 I did discharge the capacitor as what the service manual suggested before I removed the control dial and flash ribbon cables. Before I did it I found a youtube about using wires to the discharge contacts going to a light bulb to safely discharge the capacitor. The service manual suggests using a short jig R:1 k Ω/1 W but since I don’t have access to an electronics store nearby the youtube did the trick trouble free.

I installed a sata hdd caddy in my Powerbook and thought it did work it seemed to run slow. Might have been faster with a ssd... Good that I went back in my Powerbook since the right usb cable was loose and not working.

I replaced my logic board using the wrong guide (Model A1138) but luckily there was only a few differences between guides
