Thank you for speaking so openly, thus making me realize I'm not alone:
I too have failed miserably - in my case it was a known shutter button issue of the first L35AF I bought;
apparently an easy fix, alas "hasty cackhandedness" ruined things very quickly, and the pitiful thing sat close to my desk with both reproachful and resigned face for months now.
TODAY I WILL BIN !
Ah if you were in the UK I'd totally have that for parts (I like to occasionally DIY contraptions) but I guess not really with posting overseas... Is there an old school repair shop that would take it for parts?
