Seems to be a solution

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Like two month ago, my camera, a Canon A60 suddenly stopped working.
Taking the other day with a guy about what happened to me, he told me that he ran into a similar problem with a camcorder.
He talk about a thing that I have to admit I didn’t think of, a reset button…
Then a grabbed my camera an started look for that little tiny hole where the reset button are traditionaly located, I didn’t find any.
So I headed to the Canon website to download the manual that should enlighten me, when I found in the troubleshooting FAQ of the site a thing that gave me some hope, this seems to be a failure in the wiring of certain models (that includes mine) that seem to come off under special temperature and humidity circumstances. As this is a manufacturing failure, Canon will repair it not charging for it (except shipping I guess).
I’ll make an update to this post after getting and answer from Canon.

[*UPDATE*] OK, here I have it repaired and working perfectly, and they did not charge for it.

What are good friends for

I’m totally amused by the effort that my friend Héctor Dí­az is doing in posting very interesting material that comes out of the top of his head.
The interesting thing is that he’s not only posting musical pieces, but soundscapes!
This mixed with the excellent photography made by his wife, builds an atmosphere that takes me back to my homeland, Venezuela.
His is posting music too, and there is an upcoming page about our very first band.
I really recommend to check his work out.
Thanks for doing this Héctor.
