Make sure you point to the approximate location where that cap is located (just about where the self timer used to be on the older M's). If this fails, take a look in the owner's manual for its location or give it to them to look it up. Do not let them use an air chisel. Make sure the solvents are wiped out before melting the plastic. They will take the cap off to measure its size and to take an imprint of its profile and in the mean time you will have learnt how to do it by yourself. You will then graciously deny the outrageaous charges, cancel the order and walk away happy!!!! And it's free (save for gas spent on your way there). <:-) Lucian PS A good supply of battery caps may come in handy! (;-)) On Sat, 13 May 2000, Brougham wrote: > I give up.
