Nikon d80 I was wondering what it might cost to fix the pop-up flash that is broken

Doubtful. It sounds like it's physically damaged and will need to go in for repairs. There could be an issue with wiring broken or circuit board damage.

Probably just a broken roller or something inside the door. If you are mechanical at all you could take the door panel off and look, or if you know somebody who is. It could even be something as simple as a bolt missing, but until you get in the door, there is really no way to guess. If you have a decent auto wrecker near you, you could fix most anything that is relevant to a window for under 50 bucks. Good luck. If you need to know more once you get it apart, let me know. Good luck.

Hi Gioli. Sorry this isn't a solution. Just wondering if you fixed the problem? I have the same problem. Thanks

I had the same problem with my flash not poping all the way up.
I decided there must be a spring that is not pushing the flash up.
Looking for small springs I took apart push button ink pens. The spring that fit the best was from a “Pilot G-2”. It is slightly shorter than most. With a dib of glue on each end I inserted the spring while holding the flash open. Try to use a glue that bonds to metal and plastic. I put the spring in the center of the flash. Repair cost was about $2.50 for the pen, I had some glue.

how much would it cost to fix my flip video cause it has a broken screen but still works

I had same problem and found the hinge/bearing for the flash corroded, probably due to sea spray. Remove side arms on flash which limit the amount of travel BUT ENSURE YOU NOTE WHICH GOES ON WHICH SIDE AND WHICH WAY UP! (Not doing that cost me an afternoon of trial and error!) Remove the three screws (two short one long) which hold the cover on the flash and remove the cover (toward the front). Now you can ease out the bearing but not remove it totally because the flash wires go through it. (right hand side viewed from the front). Clean it (Iso-Propyl alcohol and cotton bud) then reassemble and check flash is VERY free to move. Note side arm screws have a shoulder on which the arms can swivel ensure they are correctly located or the flash will seize up when you tighten the screws. Good luck, do post if this works for you so others will know.

Its only worth it for a 16GB or more. It costs $79.99 total to get a new screen installed. http://www.thegadgetdr.com/Creative-Zen-Repair-White-or-Cracked-LCD-Screen-p/rs-zen-lcd.htm

Don't blame the Fuji Designers for this fault - it was the Fuji Bean Counters that are at fault - the flash design is for TWO springs, the plastic casting has the holes for a second spring on the other side - which wasn't fitted so 100% overloaded the single spring mount.
Anyway if you are brave and handy you CAN fix this.
First remove the back of the camera - 3 screws in battery bay, 1 in the side above the memory card door, The two rear most on the bottom, two in the USB/video door, and the rear most on the left hand carry strap bracket.
Carefully prise the back rearward about 5 to 8 mm.
Now take a look at the two screw holes under the flash (when popped - or flopped out now that is broken) now go and bend a screwdriver of the type you used for the previous screws - you will need a 90 degree bend very close to the tip to fit in this gap and be able to turn the screws a few degrees at at time.
A little at a time lock the screwdriver into the screws and undo until the flash cover comes off.
You can then slide the shaft out of the flash to release the spring which will have the end that should fit into the broken bracket now sitting proud..
Make a suitable bracket like the one in the photo attached to slide over the broken plastic bracket.
make sure it fits really well the epoxy into position.
Getting the spring back in is a fiddly job - I found the best way was to fit the end of the spring into the new bracket, slide the shaft just into the spring - the lever the other end of the spring down into the back of the flash body and then slide the shaft all the way into place.
I did have to file down the little plastic "blade" inside the lid which presumably is designed to assist the the (now broken) bracket from breaking....
reverse the dis-assembly and now you should have a working flash

It would cost $110 on www.AerozBooks.com

Hello Johnny,

If you bought this camera "used" as I suspect possibly you might have (possibly on Ebay?) - seeings if it were damaged brand new right out of the box that you would have just taken it back to the store for a replacement - it looks like you never checked that part out before buying it 2nd hand, or damaged in this case.

If you bought it on Ebay (brand NIB or otherwise) then it's doubly just as bad, as you may have no recourse at all to return it if the selling party lied about it's working 100%. Many a seller there fudges on stuff sold there, and if the ad stated "AS IS" then you have no recourse at all going back to the seller. Never buy anything online that states "AS IS" - Golden Rule #1.

The other scenario here might be you damaged the flash door yourself catching it on something and springing the pop-up mechanism - as people sometimes never want to fully state how something gets broken, but it happens to the best of us from time to time. Such is life...

That flash pop-up mechanism also has a micro-switch lever that disconnects it from the Flash Tube CHARGE circuit when it's closed. That too could have been damaged.

This is not something that you will be able to fix yourself, as it appears the HV wires coming from the Power Supply Flash control PCB (Printed Circuit Board) possibly are damaged as well. Either yanked out at the PCB or else broken at the HV (High Voltage) discharge tube itself. If it's the latter then the Flash Tube is HISTORY - as in NO MORE FLASH function period.

The only way to get a true evaluation on the C-740 damage (if you are now indeed stuck with this broken camera) is to take it in to a AUTHORIZED Olympus Repair facility and have the factory trained techs there give you a proper repair cost. Other then that you may be out even more money taking it anywhere else.

How much did you buy it for if you don't mind me asking?

Where are you located state wise or which Coast ae you closest to?

Let me know?

Best regards,

Frank
