Pentax Optio digital camera repairs

Replacement of minor parts, such as battery covers or card covers can be done for under $50 on most Optio models.

LCD replacement is a bit more expensive, and ranges from about $90 to $120 for most models.

Lens repairs (the lens will not zoom properly,  or the zoom gears make a "stripping" sound):

• Lens repairs fall into two categories.  Many times, we can repair the lenses by disassembling them and putting the zoom assemblies back into alignment.  Other times, there are broken parts inside the lens and the entire lens unit has to be replaced (Pentax, like most manufacturers, does not sell internal parts for lens units)
• We estimate all lens repairs at $90.  This is for lenses that do not have broken parts inside.  We are able to repair about half to two thirds the jammed lenses we get at this price . 
• If there are broken parts inside the lens, we will contact you with an estimate and an expected time frame for lens replacement.  We do not keep most lens units in stock.
• The cost of lens replacement is fairly high - usually $120-180, depending on the model.  This makes lens replacement marginally economical on many models, especially models over two years old.  If you do not want the lens replaced, there is no charge except return shipping ($9-10 for most locations and only if you want the camera sent back to you).

These estimates are pre-approved prices. They are usually accurate, as long as the listed repair is the only service needed.  Please attach a note to the camera describing the problem and approving the listed estimate.  We will NOT exceed that amount without notifying you first. This will reduce the repair time.  If we find other problems with the camera or need to change the estimate, we will notify you.  The prices listed do not include the return shipping charge.
