The verdict is in! The camerais doomed, not worth fixing. But, Leaf River sent me a replacement camera of the same make. The camera has anupdated board an five eyes instead of theone that the old camera had in it. The total cost for the camera being delivered to me is $50 not bad for a like new camera. Their customer service is top notch, just as I have heard in the past.

Well at least you have a new cam and a cool story with some pictures to tell

Glad they took care of you.
