Can you explain why you think it is not working?

Re: Help with Contax G2 focus dial
when i switch to mf.. it doesnt change the focus distance.. when i try to select iso.. it doesnt change the iso setting.. when i try to select custom functions.. it doesnt scroll between the different custom functions..
in my desperation.. i have brought the cam to de camera consultant and mr tay confirmed that the dial is not working.. he postulated it could either be the contacts breaking.. or corrosion on the contact point.. or worse the mother board plate is spoilt.. i am awaiting his call to see if the problem can indeed be rectified.

ok Mr Tay called back.. he said it was excessive dust on the contacts that caused it.. the other contacts were also dirty so he recommended a total cleaning of the insides of the cam.. obviously the dust sealing in the contax is not nikon standard.. total cost... 190 dollars.. the zeiss lenses better be good
