I have a Sony DSC-F717 and for the price and my use had been an overall good camera (in terms of image quality). Where it has fallen short (way short much like most of my Sony experiences) is reliability. It stopped shooting once some time ago, and had to be fixed (I dont remember/know what the problem was then).

Now once again it is not working. I have no idea what is wrong with it and if it can even be fixed or even worth fixing.

I am attaching sample images, maybe this looks familiar to some. Thanks. :wall:


This is the first bad picture it took:




I tried resetting it via unplugging battery but no real change.
