All depends on what you call cheap, but personally, i'd put it down to experience and buy 'genuine' new. If you consider that most repair centres will have a minimum charge of say

All depends on what you mean by 'not working'

Problems could range froma simple connecion issue through to the pcb or ccd being stuffed.

End of the day, it ain't workin so having a go yourself is worth it.

Well it powers up but wont focus

there should be a back focus on it - you got the manual for this one ?

As Angus says, sounds like the manual focus wants setting up, you need the instructions and a monitor next to the camera, point it at what you want to "look" at and focus to suit.

If the image is more then just "out of focus" the camera may be U/S.

Yes thanks, bought the manual on eb** oop's nearly, online auction.

It has loads of dip switches and a focus ring but the more I play the worse it gets nothing that resembles a picture so I think luggsey is right this one belongs in the bin.

should be a turn screw to focus as well as the ring - zoom it right back and focus with the back adjuster then right out then focus with the ring

cant believe im agreeing with Angus here

but there is a back focus screw on this that should need adjusting
