急救8M

got the broken 8M from a friend today... looks like it is some easy stuff...
this later version of 8M is using some easy-breaking material
when u drop it, the delicate parts will break easily
(shiny black 8M)


when I open it, except that, that's something more...


first let's save the brokend part, easy easy



then re-arrange the springs


the iron part is totally bent... it is not easy to save...
you must have used 1 tonne force over the button ><



tried hard to bend the iron part to reform its original shape
it works basically, finally, but still with some un-recoverable thing
which is, when u press the button anytime, you can go forward (even not taking a pic yet). possibly due to the part's deformation.... so this 8M is 90% healthy ... @_@


it's the 3rd time I got a 8M with seriously bent metal part...
a suggestion to everyone facing difficulties on such old old cams... dont push anything forcibly... the dislocated parts will not go back to normal... big force will just make the situation worse...
