Olympus Service Centre Moved?!

[Blitz]

Hi all,

Long time no see Olympians

BTW I just checked out the address of the Olympus Service Centre, seems to have move to North Bridge road instead? Has it just move recently?

And also, due to a stupid accident, one of my battery cover side joint was snapped off. Thus the cover will came off when not closed Will Oly be able to fix this for me?

Thanks!

Ah... I'm just a bit smarter than the average sausage.

And to keep this on-topic, the service center phone number on their pink form is wrong. It goes to some residential unit and the poor guy there must be getting calls for olympus everyday.

Good for you, smart sausage... hehehe...

Thanks for the help guys, so they move Anyway the new location is better, much accessible IMO.

Hey Kevin, long time no see too

And you guys think they are able to replace the battery cover for me?

 

[Sausage]

I think, in general, they can fix anything. It's whether they want to or not.

Oh they can ah.... hmm thanks for the info, think I will drop by there tomorrow then But will they mind or not ah?

How long u think they will take ah?

BTW Kevin, u still holding to C2040Z right?

 

[Sausage]

Can you help me check something?

I'm interested in knowing whether olympus will update camera firmware for any camera. Some people I've asked say they can and will do it, while my calls to their service center and technician result in a negative answer.

Thanks a lot.

I once check with the Oly trainer during my C2040Z course.

He's saying that Oly will not update the firmware for your camera. However if u're referring to remapping of ur hotpixels, then they can do for you.

I guess a lot of ppl mix up with remapping of hotpixels together with upgrading of firmware.

Exception is Jayan, I think he really has his camera's firmware upgraded if I'm not wrong. Need to confirm with him

Most of the time it is just a remap of CCD...seems that they'll upgrade the firmware only when you got that infamous version (can't remember which one) of firmware that resets the DC everytime you turn it on.

I mean can try lah, that is what their service is famous for mah? It may take one to two weeks. The last time I went to Leslie, he asked me if I want to bring it there myself since still under warranty, it would be faster. BTW, since the cover is snaped off, if you go Oly Serivice Centre directly under warranty they still charge you because they claim you broke it yourself.

Well, I sort of upgraded to G3 after some eval between 5050 and G3. But realised the mistake later. I was looking for a fast DC to capture my baby photos but didn't realised that all these 4MP, 5MP DC produce a lot of Noise when shoot at ISO400. Since my wife don't let me use flash, I can't sell off my C2040. Have to keep it as backup that I use frequently for ISO400 shoots!!!
