Canon Camera Repair Information Requested

[VBF]

Hi everyone,

I have a Canon Ixus II which has failed. It's uneconomic to get it fixed in the UK but as I'm coming to Pattaya in 2 weeks I was wondering if any members can recommend a competent, cost effective repair centre in Pattaya.

Thanks in advance

Try Tukcom on pattaya tai. It's the big shop in the basement.

If i have an electric device that needs to be repaired i bring it there.

Laptop, dvd player also my digital camera.

Only have good experiences with these guys.

Thanks Jareddiving - I always thought Tukcom was the name of the whole building housing all those super "Tecchie" stores - I live and learn!

No you are right! Tukcom is the name of the building.

But there is only one shop in the basement selling and repairing electronic devices and that's the one your looking for.

I forgot the name but you cant miss it..

Coming down with the escalator it's on the right side.

5th floor in Tukcom. Canon agent. They will send it away to be repaired by Canon. They advise how much and if I remember correctly, you can specify whether you want it repaired at all when they quote what the final price will be.

the repair station in the basement is called Amorn, they just repaired my Sony

When I had a problem with my old Canon G1 digital, I was told to take it to the Canon Repair Service Center located, I believe at the front on the 3rd floor at TUKCOM in Sri Racha. I took my camera there, filled out the form describing the problem and received a receipt from the lady. She said that it would be sent to Bangkok, no charge for transportation or estimate of repair. I received a call from the technician a week or so later. Luckily, there was only a minor battery connection problem with my camera and it was fixed quite easily. The camera was sent back to TUKCOM, Sri Racha and I was called when it arrived to come and pick it up. My camera was fixed for no charge even though it is an old camera years out of warranty. I would recommend you to give them a try. Worse case, the estimate of repair will be more than you wish to pay and you will get your camera back at no charge.

I took all sorts of electronic devices to Amorn and they were all repaired properly except for my Canon camera.

I don't want to rubbish Amorn but I do advise to follow torrenova's tip for your camera.
