Unfortunately, unless a member has working knowledge of SriLanka this is a difficult question to answer. And even if it were available, chances are it would cost more to replace than the camera is actually worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.

You could try eBay for a parts camera and do it yourself. But as for having someone else do it, you could probably get an upgraded model for cheaper.

HJi James, Thanks a lot for your answer. Actually I got the camera from my son in UK which was used quite a lot. Maybe I'll ask him to bring the part next time or as you suggested if it going to cost a lot, forget it and purchase a new one. Thanks a million. Mary Anne
