The locking meachanism on the Monitors ribbon cable is broken on my camera.
It pivots and locks the ribbon down to create a secure connection. However, because of the Brocken lock one side is not locked down therefore the Monitor turns off when tapped.
Is there a place that I could get a replacement for this lock?
much appreciated.
