Where to have repairs done

Have my original KM Maxxum 7d and put it aside because the on/off switch died.  Anyone know where I can send it off for repairs?  A great camera otherwise.  Thanks in advance.

It would be easier to make a suggestion if you said what country your in .

This is a world wide forum !

It might just be the switch needs cleaning with some contact cleaner , which is a DIY job .

If parts are needed , you might need to source a doner camera to send it in with as new parts are unlikely to be obtained .

Spray a small  amount of alcohol on the switch and exercise it .

You could try KEH. But, in general, they, and most places, will charge more for a repair than eBay gets for a working 7D.
