Ok button no go
Hi there,
i have a problem where the 'ok' button will not work. All other buttons are ok. Therefore the camera cannot be used to select any menu feature.. I am a tech. but in 2-way radio and GPS repair. I suspected a dry joint but this is not the case. The up, down, right, left button all have continuity to the same point but the 'ok' button is out of this loop.The button itself seems ok as there is continuity when pressed.Ideally i would like a circuit diagram but olympus will not provide me one unless i am a dealer and have quoted me $260 to fix, with a complete PCB replacement.Do you guys have any idea on where the problem may lie. If it is in the micro well i guess its all over but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The camera is in good cond. and only used a handful of times over 2 or so years.
Thanks in advance.

My FE-140 has the same problem. Sometime it works but most of time it doesn't. I think this is related to some firmware defects.
