My Digital Repair price list is not up to date, but expect a minimum charge
of over $100 for that model.

| It's no surprise that the Oly distributors would discourage cleaning the
| contacts in the camera.  It's a very delicate operation to begin with and
| you're running the risk of not only mechanically frelling the contacts,
| but also frying the camera's electronics with a static discharge.
|
| Does the new card work OK in the camera now? If so, you might have to
write
| off your old card.
|
| If not, I'd guess it's time to find out how much it would cost to get the
| camera serviced by Olympus -- you may end up paying just the minimum fee.
|
| I had an IS-1 that got dropped 1m onto an open suitcase full of clothes
| that refused to focus properly afterwards -- minimum fee charged to fix up
| the gears, thank you Olympus America.
