Viewfinder not working, LCD is okay. How to repair?
Metin:
My Sony DSC-H50's viewfinder does not illuminate when I switch from LCD to viewfinder mode. All other functions work, including the external LCD display. Does anyone know of a repair guide or video? My searches have turned up nothing.
EDIT: After posting this yesterday I did see the viewfinder flash (illuminate) briefly several times, but not in any reproducible way and not when I tried to switch to viewfinder mode. Seems most likely it is a loose connector.
EDIT2: I have attached the Sony repair manual (to the camera info page), but it doesn't really list steps, so I'm hesitant to dive in.
