Hello

It sounds more like a software error than a physical hardware problem.

Worst case scenario would be that the firmware would need to be removed and reloaded by Samsung which would cost about $30-$40 I would think.

Unfortunately , you cannot do this yourself.

Stephan

- If you think this kind of thing is expensive in the UK try repairing a camera with a broken lens in South Africa. It will wind up costing double the original price of the camera and it WILL break again two days to the second after the 2 month repair warranty runs out! Haha

What camera did you have in mind for a replacement?

Stephan
