My nex5n dial got sticky, like if something (dirt or whatever) fell inside it... no idea what or when
I've already tried cleaning it with alcohol without any success, any other products that I may use without damaging plastics and circuit board?



I'm considering buying a new one, but at the moment i just found this one

but is different (model 5)

Any clue?

Update Laughing

It seems (finger crossing) that I've managed to clean the dial with a degreaser suitable for PVC, everything seems fine so far, I'm still waiting the product to evaporate before turning the camera on Twisted Evil



Now my nex smell like Marseille soap Laughing

Alive! It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!!!



In any case if someone got any info on where to get spare parts would be good, at least not to turn to rubbish this thread Laughing

We used a lot of this stuff at work on all kinds of electrical and electronic equipment, it doesn't perform miracles but it is very good and saved us replacing a lot of stuff over the years.
