Re: Sony DSC p52 shutter problems

Daz White Posted May 24, 2007, in response to:Alex

Hi all, I recently had an issue with the Sony DSC-P52 - problem shutter staying half open, unable to take piccy's with error saying turn power on and off. Solution:- I though well the camera hasn't bee dropped, it was a weak battery situation, so I undid the four outer screws, 1 hidden in the memory card holder, removed batteries, and memory card, removed the little ribbon from the bottom to release the camera from it's housing and that left me with the front facia, motor for shutter and shutter mechanism, i removed the motor, and reset the perspec wheel with teeth for shutter motor to the furthest left (anit-clockwise) motion, then I removed the motor from it's housing, and reset the black pertruding gear also to the furthest left (anit-clockwise motion) until I saw the purpose missing tooth (this is where the gear ends and returns when fired up. I then put the camera back in and hooked up the motor for the shutter and tried it, with a couple of misjudgements on the gear position I finally cracked it, and now the camera fires up opens and closes correctly and takes pictures no problem. If you have any problems with this solution then email me at superdazdj@hotmail.com, and I can walk you thru it in more detail. Happy hunting, hope it saves you all some money. Daz
