A similar question on the Photo.net Olympus board has resulted in a discouragingly uniform sample of former XA/n owners who experienced the same self-timer problem, and it's looking as if the problem is probably in the integrated circuit. The problem occurred spontaneously, without any use of the switch, or any unusual shocks or conditions other than the usual rough handling a pocket camera gets. "Rats" indeed, and a couple more words I'll leave unsaid. Still, I haven't given up all hope of some kind of circuit-board problem that can be traced with patience. If I ever do figure it out I'll post the results. |
