I also recently found I had a vertical grip for the 5D and briefly had it on sale here but other complications surfaced. For example, do you know how hard it is to send anything with more than on lithium battery abroad?! Major headache!

Anyway, I've got all the parts here together now, so I guess at some point I shall make up a properly formatted FS page and get it right next time ;)

Otherwise I just see the camera going onto a shelf as a display piece...

It's such a shame these wonderful bodies keep on dieying. While today we have lots of cameras from 20 or even 40 years ago (even more, really)working as good as they did at the time or even better, I don't think the next generation (ie my sons and grandsons - ps: i'm 21)will have the opportunity to explore old bodies like we do with film cameras today.

So, my KM 5D has been a practically terminal. Take a piccy and the the camera locks up and doesn't even store it; 90 percent of the time using it. Some of the times it does take a picture.

However, I've upgraded now and I thought I'd post in here because I've got a few spares left over and was wondering what the interest for these parts were any more?

So.

KM 5D Body
Battery Charger (Non OEM)(SG-IC032) Input 12/24vdc and 240vac
4 Batterys:
1 x Genuine 7.4v 1500mah
2 x Non OEM 7.4v 1500mah
1 x Non OEM 7.4v 1750mah

Might have some other bits and bobs but I'm hanging onto the lenses and everything as it's compatible with the Sony I now have.

Not sure what they're worth but I doubt much these days, but rather than just throw them out...

I might be in MK on the weekend if you fancy meeting up? Sunday specifically, I think. Unless things change?

I have a 7D that had AS failure too. It went for repair at the place in Milton Keynes (Actually it's been there twice!)

I hear now that if any sort of failure occurs the 7D is finished as there ain't anywhere that repairs them - except maybe somewhere in Germany?! I therefore have the AS turned off as I REALLY don't want to lose the 7D as it's my favourite camera by far - I have a Sony 100, 200, 550, 700 & 77. It's the only one that feels old-school just like cameras used to feel!

I'm looking at them on ebay and considering buying another body as backup cos I would dread the day I can't use my Minolta any more... If I go away on holiday, it's the Minolta that comes with me along with the 28mm Minolta prime - Like a partnership in heaven!

I think that's the way to go anyway - buy off anyone wanting to sell rather than buying a broken one and fixing the parts together - but then I'm sure loads of you guys know how to do that?! I wouldn't know where to start!!!

Tom.

Hi there

It has a main board fault, the camera works fine but the card interface is broken. I have been told by CRW that there are no spares but if I can find another 5D with a different fault it should be possible to swap the main boards over and then swap the eproms over to restore all the system setting to the new mainboard.

Antishake I think.
I see you're a new user, only been here a few days too...

What have you got, and whats wrong with it, and can you fix it with spare parts?

I'm up off the M69.

Hi Saratoga

Do you still have your dead 5D if so what is the fault?.

Pirate, did you have anything come of this? Milton Keynes isn't too far for me to go to drop off this dead 5D but even so?

Pirate

Consensus is that there would be no problem in reciprocal advertising so feel free to contact CRW if you wish to 'test the water'.

I do see an issue however in CRW using used parts. There is no way to distinguish the old charge cam (cause of the FFB problem) from the 'modified' version.

As CRW guarantee their repair work I think they would be loathe to use old parts.

No, I meant donating dead 7D/5D bodies to CRW that owners have no intention of getting repaired.
