[QUOTE="everprentice, post: 258030, member: 19874"] Received the estimate from APC and here is an overview of what needs work on the camera: Type Code/Part No. Item Description Labor 2059 Replace main FPC (main circuit board) <<---FPC is flexible printed circuit Labor 2124 Replace electrical circuit Labor 465 Firmware update Labor 3034 Adjust lens mount adjustment Labor 3462 Adjust focus accuracy Labor 5055 Clean and check CCD/CMOS Labor 7282 General check, adjust and clean Price: $290 I went on the phone with a tech and was told that the remote might have shorted the circuit. The repair is expensive but I believe it is justifiable. I went through details in the Service Manual and there are a lot of things they do to tune-up the camera and make sure it is up to the standards. However, since the seller provided the remote he was willing to work out something with me. Bottomline, the GPS port is D90's achilles heel. Apparently, many have experienced some problems with the port. Though I haven't found much online about the camera shorting out because of inserting a remote it is still a possibility (proven by my experience). [/QUOTE]
