vdp Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This is the story: Two years ago I purchased 2 X-T2's and placed my X-T1 on consignment. It never sold, so recently I took it back and was using it on occasion. Today I took it out and it won't fire. I notice all the settings are stiff but I'M not sure that has anything to do with the camera not firing. Would it be worth having it fixed? Or should I consign it to the dumpster which I would hate to do since I feel a camera is a tool of creation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Battery issues(dead, poor connection)could do it. Not sure what you mean by "stiff" settings. Any chance it took a dip? Any activity on the LCD or EVF with a charged battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any activity on the LCD or EVF with a charged battery? BY stiff I mean that the dials don't move as easily as they once did. The batteries are working as is the LCD and EVF . It was in the display case at the store for two years before I took it back. Perhaps something dried out in the camera. Or it may be as you said a poor connection. Thanks for responding.

Sanford Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 If it comes to the point where the only viable decision is to toss it in the trash, at least do a teardown video or series of photos and post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdp Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 UPDATE: Yesterday I gave it a slap on the side and this morning I put my 27mm lens back on and low and behold it started to work again. I'll keep it around the apartment as a cat camera and sunset from the window camera. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm glad you didn't take my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
