Hi, I saw your mail and reply here, as probably someone will drop into discussion. I see you already have discovered spring which has come off one end. Probably you will be able to put it back just removing bottom cover, but I also peeled off leatherette around lens and took off plastic cover to have easy access (lens mount should not be removed). Maybe this tech. note will provide some help, I looked through it. Seems you have different case than described but it is best technical note on XR-P I have seen. Good tips on removing top plate (if you are interested like I were). Find where end of spring should be fastened (I had not digicam back then so no pics...and sketches, unfortunately) and make sure lacquer or nail polish has set well before assembling. Basically that's all I did plus cleaned/lubed winding mechanism under bottom plate because it's finicky - sometimes it didn't completed movement and left shutter not charged, that's all because ME feature. Hope winding mechanism is OK on yours. The more I use mine the better it works. XR-P is a girl, she can't be left alone for too long time. |
