I post this fix so that others who have the infamous Nikon Coolpix series of cameras can fix Nikon's engineering flaw in the camera body which Nikon refuses to fix despite the tens of thousands of unhappy Nikon Coolpix buyers.
Here is a photo of the Nikon Coolpix camera body BEFORE it breaks

All the reviews totally missed the mark on the Nikon Coolpix camera
ba.general (Announcements of GENERAL INTEREST to ALL readers I don't think there is much if anything that could be construed as off topic in that group except for Usenet spam.)
rec.audio.tech (the Coolpix does create audio recordings hence not off topic here)
rec.home.repair (the Coolpix can be considered an item of the home as in many other items in the home, mowers, drills, chain saws, that get freely and very regularly discussed without people like you crying about the topic and content being off topic.)
Maybe she lives in the Bay area considering she posts using Pac Bell based in San Jose?
Those questions have been asked in SER and I don't recall anyone whining and crying like a baby about it unless you did. I welcome all electronic questions in electronic news groups. If the questions need more specific answers I try to steer the poster to a group where those answers are more likely to be found and not immediately bitch and f****ng moan about it being off topic like you do.
A post describing a repair of an A/V device was posted to an AV group and a repair group.
You're the one stretched out. And you've been lambasted from head to toe by people from many different walks of life and culture in sci.electronics.repair for being the topic censoring f*****ad you are.
It only matters to topic censoring fuckeads like you.
I've answered many computer questions there and don't remember anyone whining about being off topic. Well not until a topic censoring f*****ad like you came along.
Cross posting is the preferred way to propagate one message to multiple groups while keeping only one record of the message on each server hence saving server resources. I wouldn't expect a topic censoring f*****ad like you to know that.
I was commenting on the absurd statement made that this post was WILDLY off topic and "polluting" which to any rational thinking person it obviously was not.
In the future please refrain from snipping the reply I replied to (AKA context editing). That took my reply out of context for readers entering the thread late. I added it back just to be fair.
In the 1960s Seiko and Citizens watches where all throw aways too as were vehicles made by Datsun and Toyota...Nikon cameras were well respected for their lens quality...While I could be mistaken, I suspect that they still are.
Any group with the name ööö.gen is open to any subject that might interest people in that geographical area. How to repair a broken battery door on a camera seems appropriate in home.repair.
Hi, Back then do you remember the test Leica engineers did? Dropping Leica vs. Canon, Nikon from a height, guess what happened. Also cold weather testing. Which camera went to moon first? Not Japanese one, Hasselblad. Pro grade cameras still have metal body, consumer grade? All plastic! Even most lens. At least prosumer grade is more rugged?
