Silver button to take picture popped off

I was taking a picture and the silver button to take the picture popped off. My camera has never fallen, have taken very good care of it. Called Sony and missed the warranty by 2 months. I can't find a repair center to fix it and Sony wants to charge me 181.00 to get it fixed. What can I do?

    I have taken extreem care of my DSC-H5. I love the camera. But a few months ago I was taking a picture of my daughter and great-aunt and the botton popped off. I have tried all the local repair centers in my area - they won't touch it. I find it very difficult to believe that this should be a huge problem to fix.



    I can't find a phone number anywhere to call sony. The only sony repair web-site I can find wants me to agree to 171.00 flat rate to have it looked at. HELP

    My silver picture taking button has popped off for the 2nd time now. I tried to take it in and complain that there was some type of defect with it because I take very good care of my camera, but they will not do anything for me except charge me more money on what I consider a defective part.

    Same problem with my DSC H5, The shutter buttun just poped off and I lost it. So I'm ordering a new button directly from Sony for about $23.00 and having it shipped to my home in Newport Beach, Ca.

    I only hope that I'm able to repair it. Ask me how to do it by email (mad_daddy @ ca.rr.com) after November 25th, 2008 I will have done it my self. I will give you the tips...

    i have same problem

    I have the same problem. My button popped off as well. Sony wants the original Proof of Purchase to fix it. I don't have that because I purchased this online. I am currently fighting with sony to fix it. You should do the same. Maybe if more people complain to them they will understand that others have a problem. They are the most difficult people to deal with. Of course you get someone overseas when you call. Call and COMPLAIN.

Hey lindamontero,
You can order the button from Sony at 1-800-222-7669, but unless you have camera repair expertise I would not try repairing it yourself. I would suggest you shop around for a repair center with a lower repair cost. There are many online that you can mail you camera into, or you could go to your local Best Buy™ store and the Geek Squad® precinct in the store can send it out for service.

Sincerely,
Allan
