As far as I know, Olympus has decided not to train anyone to repair their
digital cameras except their own people. (I've heard it's the same for
C*n*n, btw.)
I purchased some of the repair manuals for the earliest models in the past,
but haven't bothered to order any in quite a while so I don't know if I can
still get them. Since Olympus "flat rates" their repairs often for less
than what I would have to charge for the parts alone, it's not reasonable
for me to invest the time to teach myself to work on them.
