I have a Nikon S51 camera, however, it fell from a friend of mine recently, and now, I notice that the casing is coming apart and there is a screw missing. I know I can probably fix it myself, but if there is a repair center in the area, I would like to get it repaired. Is there any camera repair or Nikon repair centers in the 757?

Camera City on the corner of Armistead and Settlers Landing in Downtown Hampton...I think they do repairs too.

I went by Camera City today, but they said they didnt have the screw that I need to repair mine. I went by Ritz, and they said it would be $250 to send it out to be repaired. My camera, new was $250, but now, its only valued $180. I just need a screw and just to straighten out the case for the camera again and make it fit together properly.

Give Nikon a call, they may be able to get you just the screw.

An eyeglass repair kit with screwdriver size #0 did not work to remove the screws. It need something smaller. Do you know if it is a special screwdriver these cameras need? Where should I look for a screwdriver to open it up?

THATS FRESH

for the price to repair, id go out and buy another camera. from best buy with the service plan. so if that does happen to you new camera in 4 years, youll get replacement.

Well, my camera is work, it just need the case to be fixed up. I called Nikon, and a replacement side is $15. I still need to be able to pull the screws out though. This camera takes really great pictures for being a ultra slim camera, and it has OPTICAL image stabilizer. A lot of the others only has digital.

THATS FRESH

let me see if can find my old Nikon P&S. you can have the screws from it.
