G'day, gona drop my D70 off at Bondi for a service (under warranty) for not turning off.

Wondering if they will give it a good clean for me? Or will i have to pay for this?

cheers..

You usually get a clean as part of the service, I wouldn't let them charge you for it.. but thats just my experience.

thanks mate. she needs a good clean, haven't really done it in the year i've had it.

A bucket full of hot soapy water and a good scrubbing brush will bring it up gleaming!

just wondering roughly what it costs for a service?

I'm a bit curious, really how often should camera gear - bodies and lenses be sent for a professional strip and clean?
I assume it's different for each (bodies vs lenses) and it's not possible to answer in a timeframe as everyone uses their gear differently...

Good luck with the clean...
Cheers.

Man it sux not having a camera! I feel lost. Can't wait to get him back..

I got a free clean when I handed mine in for repair, so hopefully you'll get lucky.

Can't wait to get him back..

Now THAT'S a poll we need to introduce: "What gender is your camera?"

yeah, hope it comes back sparkling..

i agree about a camera gender poll too i'm sure there's a few confused ones out there.

If it is doesn't turn off, did you try removing the battery and reinserting? Mine did the same (Nikon D50) and it reset itself. Try that first. (May be you did already?)

Thanks mate, yeah tried the battery trick, reset the cam, but no good. Still under warranty so no probs really.

just got my cam back. this is what they did to it:

-clean + repair main power switch
-repair dry solder joint
-cleaned rewired
-cleaned image sensor

sounds good, i'm happy...
