Ouch!

I have had good experience with Consumer Photo [Tech?], South side of
Buford Highway just outside of Jimmy Carter. They have fixed mechanical
cameras for me, never any problems afterward, and they appear to have a
lot of professionals among their clientele. They also fix laptop
computers, so I won't be surprised if they work on digital cameras.

Give them a call - they may be able to guess a $$ range to help you decide
if it's worth paying for a disassembly and estimate. (That cost is
deductible against the repair, IIRC.)

When I asked about a display problem on a friend's laptop, they quoted 
their labor and a new screen and guessed a range at which they might be 
able to find a used one (if that was really the problem).

I can probably dig out their phone number if you can't find it. (It may be 
Norcross - I dunno.)

DISCLAIMER - I am not associated with Consumer Photo, just a customer who 
has had good experience dealing with them.
