Hi,

I already posted this at photo.net, maybe you guys can help me?

I bought a used T90 which was stuck (flashing arrow problem). So I dissambled it, moved this and that lever, put it back together...and it fires again! At all speeds.
The only strange thing is when using stopped-down metering. Is the lens on "A" when pushing the stopped-down lever von the front, I get an EEE error, like described in the manual.
When I manually set the apertue on the lens and push the stopped-down lever, the camera freezes. It doesn't responses even to the power switch. After pushing the stopped-down lever again (back to normal operation), the camera works fine. Another strange thing: while the camera is freezed, you can push buttons or move the jog dial on the T90, and the actions are performed after exiting stopped-down metering.
I tried to track down the error: When pushing the stopped-down lever, it closes a switch located under the lens thread (white wire), which connects the white wire to ground. If I manually connect the white wire to ground, the camera freezes and gets back working after disconnecting from ground.
Has anybody an idea how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!
