FUJI S3000

I have one with the same problem. My friend complained it had just stopped but a few week earlier the pop up flash wouldn't close. On stripping it down I found the mechanism (3 metal parts) all over the main board. What they had shorted out is anyone's guess but after checking to see if the parts were replaceable I saw the flimsy plastic mount for these parts and it looked as it it was designed to break.

I found a screw shorting the filter capacitor that was from the lens mount. However it had already caused damage.

Ive seen this proble before. Im afraid its dead. There is a problem that fuji will not address. The camera is all plastic and the front has a lens adapter made from aluminum. There are 3 screws that hold it on and they have no locktight on them. Eventualy they work loose and fall out, the front becomes loose like its broken but its not. The screw then bounces around inside the unit till it eventualy shorts and blows somthing out. Since there is no shematics for it its nosy to.

Ive called Fuji and told them ive seen this problem many times and they wont admit there is a fault.

listen you all...if the battery contacts are ok and the battries fully charged then it is a dead power board. make the investment and send it to a repair place unless it is an old junk and not worth repairing
