Any digital comes in, it automatically goes directly to Olympus for service.
All Olympus digital service is done at the California service center.

|
| | It's no surprise that the Oly distributors would discourage cleaning the
| | contacts in the camera. It's a very delicate operation to begin with
and
| | you're running the risk of not only mechanically frelling the contacts,
| | but also frying the camera's electronics with a static discharge.
| |
| | Does the new card work OK in the camera now? If so, you might have to
| write
| | off your old card.
| |
| | If not, I'd guess it's time to find out how much it would cost to get
the
| | camera serviced by Olympus -- you may end up paying just the minimum
fee.
| |
| | I had an IS-1 that got dropped 1m onto an open suitcase full of clothes
| | that refused to focus properly afterwards -- minimum fee charged to fix
up
| | the gears, thank you Olympus America.
