stuck shutter Canon EOS 630

[Mark Roberts]

My local shop couldn't fix the shutter and sent it to Canon. They said
there are no parts for my camera and I should scrap it. Anybody have an
idea?

[ROBMURR]

this was covered recently here at length
and there is a person who fixes these
for about $100 was mentioned.
Do a google group search for canon
sticky shutter.

There is a rubber stopper on the bottom of the shutter blade that decomposes
over time and needs to be replaced. The bumpers are available from Canon. I
have replaced hundreds over the years.

This is caused by the shutter brake melting, then leaving a sticky
residue on the upper-left corner of the shutter blades. I got mine
(EOS 650) fixed by a local camera repairman in August 2000 for a bit
over $100 USD . The camera has worked fine since the repair. You
don't need to junk your camera.

That sounds like exactly what has happened. The substance is on the left
side of the shutter.

Can you hook me up with the one who repaired yours? Apparently our
Camera shop people aren't too swift around here.

Thanks for your reply.

From a previous post in this group - the contact guy for repairing your EOS 630
is at/near the bottom of the post. I have not used him myself but I've read
about him and he seems like he should be considered as one of your prime
candidates to do this repair. Hope this helps...

"Streetshooter and Robmur nailed the problem exactly. This failed shutter
stopper is a common problem with 650's. Happened to the two 650's my kids use.
You will probably find goo on the shutter blade, left side.

The fix is about $100. [email]Steven40@aol.com[/email] did both of mine. Excellent work, and
nice guy to deal with. Quick turnaround.
