NX11 shutter problem

I obtained a Samsung with a shutter release problem - the shutter button doesn't release the shutter, though a remote release cable works fine.  Any body have a suggestion on fixing this?

thanks,

Huffy

Re: NX11 shutter problem

The shutter release on the top plate is one electrical switch, the remote is another connected to the PCB. Unfortunately NX10-NX11 are very hard to dismantle and even harder to get spares. A camera repairer will charge more than the thing is worth to fix it.

The remote release is a simple shorting of two pins so it should be simple enough to run a thin cable up to a miniature flash contact switch somewhere handy on the camera body.

These cameras go pretty cheap on ebay so no great hardship to keep the faulty body as an emergency spare and just get another.
