Well, sometimes we become thoroughly attached and in love with things - have you ever been directed to replace your long time and best friend pajamas. Yes, he can get over discarding it but the pain over the time. Of course, he could put it up on the old coffee cup shelf.

Since your camera is old and outdated, you should replace it. It's not worth fixing. It's not worth paying someone to tell you it's broken and then have them tell you it will cost more to fix then it's worth. It's the digital age, and these complex devices don't last forever. Move on. Let it go. You'll be happy with a new, or newer, camera. Trust me.
