Now before we begin let me say one thing. I do not recomend doing this. For one thing it gave me a shock. It hurt. Funny though it made my finger feel as though it was being burnt but when I let go the feeling went no pain at all no burn of any kind.

Question: But how can this thing give you an electric shock if there's no power supply?
Answer: Quite simple really. At least I think I have the answer. I tell in a minute.

It's really interesting opening these thigns up. I hvae no idea what's what but still it is fun.

The story of the camera is that the lens jammed. It went a little funny jamming once or twice but still worked. Then suddenly the lens jammed and would not go back into the camera. The cmaera would turn itself off automaticly when the lens didn't respond. Besides I got a new camera.

The must have been some kind of greasy stuff in there. Look you can see my finger print on the screen.






Now without the front you can see how I could get that shock. It's not marked but you can see it to the left of the lens. A long grey thing. Took me a while to figure out what that long battery thing was and when I did I hit myself for my stupidity. You see I'm used to seeing small capacitors like the ones they teach you about in schools. I got the shock when I tried to remvoe something after I relised that I had really destroyed the camera. It was at the back hidden by the circuitboard.

Also you can see that I used no work bench, instead used my leg and a table. Still I got the job done.

I think I'll leave it there for now. I'll bring more in the next few days.
