It’s got tons of tiny pieces and it appears that the mechanism that holds the door to the chassis is glued in. The good news is that I only have one extra spring after re-assembling the camera.
We may be getting a new camera this Christmas.
Basically, five business days after shipping the video camera to Canon, it’s back. They didn’t contact me, they simply fixed the thing and sent it back. I haven’t tried it yet, but if it fails again, you’ll hear about it here.
So, score a four out of five stars for Canon Support for fixing the bad camera on their dime, though a quick email would have been nice, at least to indicate that they received the camera.
Just for fun I thought I’d try the recipe I found at the bottom of this fantastic site about making wine.
The recipe is simply:
What a fun project. I’d recommend punching at least one hole larger than a pin prick. Otherwise you may get some overflow. It’s amazing how active the yeast can be in the right environment. I put the jug in a pantry that’s a solid 70 degrees and the concoction was bubbling like a warm, shaken can of Coke on a hot day. It almost blew the balloon off the jug.
I’ll update the site with how it tasted.
I won’t go too much into this other than my beloved Canon Elura 40MC just failed with the “Remove Cassette” problem. It has all the symptoms described at: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/t19001.html
We’ve had it for five years and used it lightly. It’s old enough not to fix and new enough to ensure I’ll never buy another Canon product. What really sucks is that I actually recommended these things to several people who bought them.
What a disaster.
My epic article on how to make home made pinnekjøtt is finally done. I’ve been meaning to do this for two years now.
Anyhow, I hope this serves as a guide for others of Norwegian heritage or interest on how to make this traditional dish. I’ll update with new information as I refine the process over the years.
