OK. I have a PT-053 housing on a TG-1. It's pretty much the same housing as the entire range of TG cameras.
I always wash off in fresh water and maintain well but housing is 5 years old and occasionally I get a minor leak.....luckily camera is waterproof.
I've done a lot of checking/testing and I think its coming in around the shaft of the mode dial. That's a thumb wheel on the back of the housing, that links via a plastic cog inside to wheel that changes the mode.
While I can see how to change the orings on the pushbutton controls (very fiddly but possible taking out the circlip) there seems to be no way to remove the mode dial shaft. Is this true?
Seems like the two plastic wheels inside and outside are permanently glued to the shaft in manufacture? Is that true? There are no circlips or screws or anything I can see. Has anyone removed the shift on one of these housings?
Seems crazy that basically the housing is scrap for the ability to change one oring? I have lots of tools and the right size orings and am a certified technician for serval makes of reg - but I cant see anyway to take this apart.....
help.......
