[QUOTE="EmpyreanMediaArts, post: 633493, member: 43939"] Yup. My brother took my D7100 out to take pictures, pointed the camera at the sun, and melted a little hole right through the shutter (picture below). The sensor is surprisingly unharmed and can take video just fine. Whenever I take a picture without a flash, an over exposed spot rests where the whole is. Okay...so how much would it be to replace a shutter? Looking online, I find I can buy a shutter assembly unit for about 50 bucks. However, I can't find any tutorials online to help me disassemble my camera and install the new shutter. I live in Northern Colorado and I don't believe I have any camera repair shops anywhere nearby. I did replace my camera because I needed it for a gig soon after finding out about the incident. But now I have a camera that works perfectly fine...just with a hole in the shutter. I want to fix it so I can either use it or sell it. How much would that cost? Would looking into an assembly kit worth it? Thanks! Eric [ATTACH=CONFIG]264387._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
