    got the Olympus Mui 410 for my birthday approximately 18 months ago....  but last month, the flash stopped working (cue all my indoor photos in Thailand being taken on a crappy disposable camera resulting in crappy pictures!)</p>

    I've just taken it to Jessops where I got it from, and they've quoted me <font color="#ff0000">£145!!!</font> to repair it...  seeing as I paid just over £200 for it, obviously it's not worth doing it through them.</p>

    I'm going to write to Olympus and complain, but in the meantime does anyone know of anyone local who can repair/replace the flash bulb?  and preferably for a lot cheaper price!</p>

    any suggestions appreciated!  [​IMG]</p>

    I somehow doubt it will be repairable by anyone other than such as Jessops (Who will probably send it back to the makers anyway) It will be a single unit which needs replacing I'd say. You may get some joy from Olympus even if they offer to fix it at a price it will be less than Jessops.

    thanks Jax, that was the tack I was going to take... going to write direct to Olympus.</p>

    the guy in Jessops suggested I use the non-working flash to judge when there wasn't enough light to take the picture, or something equally as stupid...</p>
