Cool. I opened up the bottom of my ex LCA+ before I sent in for a replacement ... it seems the MX thingie ain't that complicated after all.

or a yakult straw?
cut both ends of a cutton bud?

chuppa chup sticks ain't as flexible, i think. plus, i think the chuppa chup sticks are a little thicker in diameter compared to the WD40 tube.

Ha ha, Done! I used the film release button from my spoilt action sampler. I also modified it abit so the slot is not left open for dust to go in.

Check it out, total, took only 15mins to complete.


Close up:


I dun have battery now, so cannot test.

no, no ,no...pass me...I repair it and use...better
Mine was a dead one I bought from a CSer here. send it for repair and its working properly now. cost of dead camera + repair fee is less than half of a new LC-A+, about $160.

the plastic is crap, very soft, just a normal penknife can cut through with afew stroke. very easy to cut. So becareful, dun leave a "battle scar" like michealkechil's LCA.
