thanks! seems easy enough. just have to get around to doing it now.:thumbup:

Do you already have the new door? When I found that, I saw a few links to replacement doors. Looks like they only cost about $5.

That was one of the most common breaks on that camera, it comes as no suprise there is a fix that can be found quickly.
