where do i get my sony digital camera repaired?

Question

Shutter is jammed - camera was dropped.

Answer 1

go to the sony store. theres a bunch all over the country.

Answer 2

If you bought insurance on the camera then you can simply take it back to the store where you purchased it and put it in for repairs. If you did not then you can ship it back to the manufacturer, you will most likely have to pay for it since most warranty's don't cover damage from dropping (though honestly how else does most damage occur?). The other this is that best buy has partnered with geeks on wheels so they have a full fledged service department and if it's just the shutter mechanism that is damaged it might be an easy repair. The last option is one of those stand alone camera shops, sometimes they have an individual who is versed in all types of cameras who might be able to assist for an easy problem. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

I wouldn't. Sony is not made very well anymore. Anything you do to it goes wrong. A lot of Sony cameras have defects now that the manufacturers are aware of. Some they fix free and others cost $250-$300. I just had a Sony Cybershot F717 break. The articulating lens went out (pink, blue wavy lines across screen). Also had a Sony big screen TV break twice (very exp. to fix ) and a Sony trinitron break. Why on earth would anyone pay to fix something supposedly top of the line and have it break 2 years later. I realize your was dropped, however, I believe you should get away from Sony as fast as you can. Have made over $5000 in Sony ivestments in 3 years and it has NOT been worth it.

Answer 4

Repair on a Sony that is more than a year old is not worth the trouble and/or cost. Sony, if they even offer the ability to fix it, outsources their repair work.

I have tried this several times, only to get back a poorly packaged, still non-working camera. The last straw was when I got back someone else's broken camera.

I would suggest a new camera. Buying a used one is a good bargain, normally. I love eBay.

Answer 5

Sony Has repair shops around the country you will need to ship your camera to them. Sony has a system for repairs. If you send a model XX-1a (sample number) they have a one price repair charge. It does not matter what is wrong with it. It could involve replacing the main board or fixing a bent battery prong. When you contact Sony they can tell you what that price is before you ship your camera. What I have had repaired by Sony they seem to charge around 25% to 40% of the new price. I have found that I can locate replacement (refurbished or used) for less some times.

Answer 7

Your better off sending it back to Sony so they can send it to QUALIFIED technicians to get it properly repaired. If that's not an option for you, the BEST option first is to contact Sony and ask an operator who Sony deems the top places to send your product for repair, in your area. After your repair, you should get insurance (if you didn't get it for your product), in case you need another repair and you won't have to pay out of pocket. You've INVESTED money on your camera and should be treated as such.

Answer 8

Ouch! Hate to say, but most times the repairs run nearly as much as just buying a new camera. Contact a local Wolf or Ritz Camera store, they can have it sent out for repairs and will let you know how much it will cost beforehand. But, really, just buy another one.

Answer 9

take it to a wolf camera shop but i suspect you'd be better off just buying another camera since the repairs might cost as much as a new one.

Answer 10

Go to the Sony Website there you would be able to find a list of service centers all over the world.
