[QUOTE="guillermo_arp, post: 667430, member: 40887"] That's exactly what I just did... and VOILA!! Different serial numbers. I downloaded ExifPro 2.1 Opened a recent photo, from before I send it for service, and it reads: Serial number 945899... I checked several other older photos and all of them have the same SN. I took a few pictures today and the Serial [B]Number is different: 298331 [/B] I confronted the guy and he was "shocked"... According to him, at some point of the repair, "OLD DATA FROM ANOTHER BODY" got stored on my camera. "Probably during calibration, since the machine he uses to tweak software can download the entire software from one body to another". Something like cloning a hard drive I suppose... I think he is full of fecal matter, but... I'm not the "expert". He also claims that he can reset the serial number just in the same way he can reset the shutter counter. He ask me to send my camera once again so he can set the old serial number and reset the shutter counter. According to him, all he did was change the autofocus sensor. Which is still not working properly (He offered me to change the whole mirror box for free). From what I read from you guys, the shutter counter MAYBE possible to set to any value, But the serial number?? I don't know... This person has been in the photo business since a long time ago and its very well known in the local industry. [/QUOTE]
