Casio FZ-10M fails to boot: only screen light + sometimes 2 red LEDs. How to fix? Thanks!

2014-12-10 by db0451@...

Hello all,

Looking for advice from FZ-10M (-20M, HS-1/E) owners, or the FZ-1 as that might also be applicable.

I bought an FZ-10M that needs repair: specifically, it does not start, only showing a screen light and (sometimes) 2 red LEDs.

I have little in the way of diagnostic equipment but am happy to try if I get plausible suggestions. The service manual for the FZ-1 only describes the diagnostic program IF it loads in the first place, but I don't even seem to get that far!

I doubt it's just the (infamous) LCD screen, but to check, how would I go about testing buttons or sound, without being able to see what the screen says? Anything simple that will produce a sound or change some LEDs if the whole thing isn't busted is what I need.

Otherwise, hopefully someone knows the described pattern of failure, and can suggest what needs replaced, tested, etc.

Thanks in advance. I really hope I can get this fixed and get those filters blasting!
