Hi everyone...just sharing an experience. The other day I was shooting around a relative's house and I noticed the the rear joystick had popped off. After a few frantic minutes, I was able to find it on the floor, near my bag (presumably it came off while taking it out of the bag). I was able to pop it back on and now it functions fine. I even applied a bit of pressure to see if it would come off easily and it held fine. The only issue is that the weather/rubber seal around the button tore. I think the button comes from the factory snapped on just as I re-did it and a little help from the rubber sealing. The tear is not noticeable until very very close inspection. I am sending my camera is for a CPS routine cleaning and will instruct them about this issue and told them to quote me a repair price to replace the seal.

I just wanted to share the experience. I will keep everyone posted about my dealings with CPS within the following weeks. Who knows? maybe I can humor you all with an outrageous price quote for a piece of rubber, which consists of tons of labor, much like replacing the head gaskets of an engine. Costs $1000 to put in a $20 gasket....or something...
