well, sadly after nearly 2 years, my Sony Cybeshot DSC-T9 finally died. of course, it had to be the first day on my vacation in Mexico and caused by me jumping into the ocean and landing on my camera and the sport/waterproof housing… (note to self, not seamonkey-ass proof though..)
salt-water and electronics do not go very well, but even though my camera’s lcd did not light up and only turned on by opening the front cover and then powering on; it still took some decent shots and video.
however i decided that after i got back from my trip, i would put it out its misery and ‘try’ to fix it by a nice disassemble of my Cybershot DSC-T9.. btw, i didn’t fix it… but am now waiting for the Sony Cybershot DSC-T300 (has the BIONZ sensor which is in the SLR versions) to be released in Mar and hopefully go down a bit i apr. in the meantime, i’m trying to get me a used DSC-L1 to tie me over till apr (just a 4mp but its so nice and tiny and took great pics, i had one a while back).
anywho back to the disassemble, pics and notes below. enjoy!
