Re: Sony DSC W1 camera repairs

Sony DSC W1.

My camera is 3 years old and has stopped working.

When you press the power button it tries to come on then goes off immediately.
If you turn the dial to view your photos, the shutter opens and stays open even when turned off.
I have reset it without success. By turning it on 30 - 40 times I can get it to shut...but thats it.
Is a repair economical?

Thanks

    Still trying to fix the problem. It is intermittent, so I am bearing with it at the moment. Went out with friends on New Year, they have the same camera and that too gave up with the same symptoms. Seems like Sony have a problem.

  I have a problem very similar to this one.
  My camera turns on and then when I power it off it turns back ON by it self and then I cannot shut it off.
  
  If I take the battery out and put them back in then it does not turn on again.
  Hrs later after I put the bateries back in, it turns on and off on its own and I cannot do anything again (it won't turn on) Hrs later I can turn it on again and then the cycle repeats.
  
  Any ideas or suggestions? How much would it cost to fix something like this?
  I'm already planning on buying a new camera, but I want to rescue this one and give it to someone.
  
  Thanks

  My DSC-S60 has the same problem....when I hit the powever button, I can audibly hear the power sound, but then it turns right back off again. The lens is also stuck in the open position.
  
  Have you resolved your issue and how?
  Thanks!
