I am (foolishly?) trying to replace the SD card door on my K-5iis. For whatever reason, the plastic door broke in two and I actually found one at a place called U.S. Camera.
SITUATION: The door is spring-loaded with a simple coil spring. The spring slides over the rod that is the hinge for the door mechanism. Both ends of the spring are extended (one a short bit, the other much longer) so that the spring tightens a bit when the door is closed and springs the door open when it is released.
PROBLEM: I cannot manage to get this spring to seat correctly. No, I did not take a picture ahead of time – it's just a spring, right?
NEED: I would like someone to be so kind as to take a picture of the SD card door with the spring in position so I can use it as a guide.
If you can help with my small dilemma, either post the photo to this thread or send it to me. I will be incredibly grateful.
Many thanks,
Don
P.S. I have a camera with the case disassembled. Once I get the door properly installed, my next trick will be re-assembling the case – there are 21 very tiny little screws of 4 different lengths. Fun!
