Sony Mavica Repair

Sony Camera Repair Service

Sony Mavica Repair and Camera Repair by AV Repair.

How much will it cost to repair my Mavica?

That depends a lot on how far off the floor it fell, whether it was concrete or carpet, and whether it sunk to the bottom of the swimming pool, or just got splashed.

Seriously though, you can find our labor rates here, so the only question would be the cost of parts. Once your unit is on the bench, we'll be able to determine just that, and contact you via e-mail with all of the costs involved, and how long your unit's stay with us, will be.

MVC-FDxx Series (Floppy Disk Mavica's):

If your camera is displaying Disk Error, C:13:01, C:32:01, and you've tried to format a new disk (using your computer, w/ FULL format option) with no success, then you may need a new floppy drive installed (FDD). Cost of the drive is $90.00, with labor at $60.00, for a total repair of $150.00 on most models*.

*Cost to replace the floppy drive in models MVC-FD91, MVC-FD95 and MVC-FD97 is at $165.00

MVC-CDxxx Series (CD-R Mavica's):

If your camera is displaying Disk Error, C:13:01, or you hear a clicking sound, and have tried a new CD-R disk with no success, then the entire laser/ motor assembly needs to either be repaired at a cost of $180.00, or replaced at a cost of $289.00. We'll be able to determine which, once your unit is on the bench. No work is performed, without your apporval.

My camera got wet, can you fix it?

For cameras or camcorders damaged by liquid or water, the estimate fee is $50.00, and is applied to the cost of repair.

If your unit did get wet, it's wise to remove the battery, and avoid poweringit on.

If your camera or camcorder was submerged for any length of time, it's over, time to go shopping. If the lens has water spots inside - it's over, time to go shopping. If water is dripping out from the inside of your unit, it's over, time to go shopping. If your camcorder or camera was LIGHTLY splashed or sprinkled with water then there MAY be a chance that we can help you.

Do you repair CyberShot digital camera's (Still Camera's) ?

One word, YES! Please click here to visit our Sony Cybershot page.

Yeah, but wont it cost allot to ship my Mavica to you?

Actually, the average cost of shipping a camera to us is $8.00- $10.00. For smaller camera's, the mail is more cost effective, provided you don't get confirmation, and your realistic about what your camera is really worth. After all, it IS broken, and they will make you prove that it's worth what you say it is, in the event something goes wrong...

Why don't you offer free estimates?

Nothing in life is free. If your looking for free estimates, beware. You get what you pay for.

Do you really think that the shops that offer free estimates are going to spend any quality time with your unit to figure out it's problem? No, they don't. They simply shoot you a price, and hope that it's high enough to make plenty of profit. Too bad for you, if your repair was one of the easy ones...

How much do you charge for estimates?

$30.00. A modest sum, wouldn't you agree? The estimate fee is waived, should you decide to have your unit repaired. That's fair, isn't it?

How much do you charge for return shipping?

Typical return shipping charges are $10.00, and we only tack on $1.50 for packing supplies. That's reasonable, yes?

If you'd prefer to use a different shipping carrier, or if you'd like us to use your account number when shipping, simply let us know...
