High-end bridge cameras: Sony RX10, Panasonic FZ1000 etc

I've been quoted £440-ish to sort an electrical fault.
Seems like a lot but the camera is worth nothing if it doesn't work..
Wish I'd sold it a few months ago before this happened (that said it would weigh heavily if I had and knew about it..)
Might have to sell it once it comes back.

An update to this.
I've just had a final invoice for the repairs of £278, so a lot less than expected.
This includes return postage.

Good luck with your sale Steve - just a thought ref the rear screen, it looks kind of like it has a screen protector stuck on? If so then the actual screen underneath may be perfect!? Sorry if I am wrong :)

It may well have, I didn't want to try to dig at it with a sharp blade for fear of making it worse as I've not seen another rx10iv so don't know what they look like with or without a protector. Certainly the marks don't look like scratches on glass but I'd rather undersell and have a happy buyer then the opposite!
And thank you - I'm still not sure if I'm doing the right thing but need to raise some money after a bad few months..
Your observations mean I'll take a closer look tomorrow, might make it more attractive to a potential buyer..

I'm not certain but it's definitely worth a quick look - good luck with the sale anyway :)

Just took a look at your ad Steve and it very much looks like a screen protector to me having looked at my own screen. Good luck with the sale.

Thank you too.
I'll see what damage I can inflict on it in the morning.
Not sure I'll be giving you £20 though..!

Well guess what....
I have never seen a screen protector put on so perfectly. I've put them on all my cameras over the last 30+ years so do have some idea but there was one on my rx10iv and underneath it is a perfectly unmarked screen!
Thank you both so much.
Might make it an easier sell now, but makes me feel a bit of a pilchard for not being able to tell there was a protector on the screen.....
I've now updated my advert, and again, thank you both so much.
