Broken Camera

I am a little bit depressed at the moment. Had my birthday party at weekend, accidentally dropped some wine on my Olympus E520 and now the LCD display won't work. Anyone know of a good UK Olympus repair company?

Sorry to hear that...........I had some asshole at a Seattle Mariners dump a cup of beer all over my Canon EOS MK II. Still worked.........my wife complained that I smelled like beer and went to a bar instead of covering a major League Baseball Game.

Haha. I was surprised how little the amount of wine was. I really thought I'd got away with it. Oh well, might be an insurance job - and a new E5 body perhaps......lol.

Try putting it in the airing cupboard

I used First Aid Repair in Kent a few years ago - were very helpful and a good price.

Avoid Colchester Cameras / Colchester Camera Repair - they are an accredited repair centre for a number of brands but I got very bad service - poor communication, wrong diagnosis of the problem and very expensive.

Does it turn on? If not it's likely a battery problem. Try a different battery with your body if you can borrow one.

Thanks I'll try that.

Thanks for the advice.
