Hi Mr Almunif
I have a SONY ALPHA SLT A55V that stopped working.
Sony South Africa quoted ZAR 17, 000 to repair this camera when the latest model over here will cost me ZAR 25, 000
Sony indicated that the camera needs a new Main PC Board and a Shutter Charge Unit or Shutter Change unit. Not sure from their handwriting on the quote
I can buy a new PC on ebay but need to find a charge unit
Can you assist with this and also on how to replace it
My previous A55 was stolen and the one I have is much needed to take videos of the properties that I sell for clients. m in the real estate business in South Africa
Regards
