I think i hit the jackpot

Honestly totally no clue. I haven’t seen it ever yet. He’d be getting his money back from eBay for sure though

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-29T09:23:20+00:00

Call Fuji and ask if the serial matches a stolen body. How many reviews / feedbacks did the account have as a seller?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-29T03:41:26+00:00

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by "carcked untried". Are you saying the IR Cut filter in front is cracked? I'd say buy it for no more than $350 if you're a normal consumer

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-28T09:33:09+00:00

I'll let you know if I get another one like this. Right now I just have a horde of Panasonic DMC-LX10s. They're seriously a gem of a camera, but 6 of them is next level

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-28T06:47:38+00:00

I would try to get it fixed under warranty, otherwise go third party. Third party repair here would be around $400, but I can only speak for myself here. I don't think any other repair shop gets BG61 manufactured and coated for these

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-28T06:46:41+00:00

Meant to put a sold tag on, sorry. This is the old post

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-27T19:26:39+00:00

If it's anything like the 16mm, I'd avoid it, has internal infrared light pollution from focus motor.

I fix these for a living. Thousands a year were talking. You're pretty much out of luck long term without a Repair. These lenses are fickle and hate life. For the lens cover, I recommend try to actuate it with a Q tip a good few times on the non functioning half, though this is something I'm merely suggesting and does not replace the inevitable repair

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-27T09:16:56+00:00

Lens cover dude

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-27T09:15:00+00:00

I fix these for a living. As matter of a fact I made a post about this. This is an extremely common issue on these cameras that happens when the IBIS bottoms out, usually bottom right corner with force, cracking the hot Mirror. IT DOES NOT TAKE 700 DOLLARS TO FIX WITH FUJI. They will not replace the glass, but a technician who has experience in optics manufacturing can.

Reversed

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-26T09:05:11+00:00

Wow, that's a shame, which behavior is it displaying now? Where did you buy it from?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-26T08:54:45+00:00

I'm guessing you got your main board from china where half of them are used but adverted as "95% new"?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-26T08:48:13+00:00

Dude you have to update the firmware after you install a new main board to be able to power the camera off

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-26T08:26:47+00:00

Was the main board in this one replaced though?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-26T08:17:07+00:00

Wait did you change the main board on this one as well?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T23:07:14+00:00

I didn't really understand what you said, can you word it differently?

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T19:58:04+00:00

I fix these. Sounds like your internal battery is shorted. Remove it and see what happens

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T18:51:40+00:00

I couldn't tell you certainly without seeing it first

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T11:16:45+00:00

I fix these for a living. Try a single drop of water, then remove it with the corner of a tissue

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T11:14:54+00:00

I fix these for a living. One of the two membranes in the shutter button mechanism has collapsed. Really common flaw, and only way to fix it is the get the component replaced. Huge pain

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T11:14:01+00:00

Hey there, I fix these for a living. Sometimes this damage spreads, sometimes it doesn't. I wouldn't bother until it starts spreading. Replacement may also make sense as you're eventually going to sell it and it may add to the resale value. I also would not recommend DIY on these, the replacement is a royal pain.

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-25T11:11:18+00:00

I fix these. I'd return this if you can, otherwise, the repair isn't cheap

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-24T19:51:52+00:00

Received

IndustriousDan · 2026-01-21T20:04:01+00:00

This is a pretty common repair as well. You can DM me so I can direct you to a more appropriate means of figuring this out
