I have a couple of cameras I would like to get fixed if possible. one is a wildgame inovations and the info screen is washed out . the other is a Moultrie that just quits taking pictures. any ideas or just junk em and spend more money on new ones?
I guess it depends on the company. I would go to the manufactures website and send them a email from their contact page. Sometimes companies will help you out to keep a customer and some will not do a thing for you. I have 2 Bushnells that work fine but both have a small but minor issue that is annoying. After the season I plan on contacting bushnell to see if they can help resolve the issue. If not, I will look at other brands as customer service is huge in keeping customers.
It's almost too bad you can't really tinker with cameras that have gone bad. Even if you could buy the 'guts' to a camera at a discount. Sure sucks having 2 sitting here waiting to be 'dummy' cameras some day when I'm sure one circuit board or another has something that fried.
If you send a camera to Moultrie don't expect to get the same camera back. I sent a M-80 and M-110 to Moultrie because they both quit taking pictures and I was hoping to have them fixed, instead Moultrie sent me two refurbished discontinued cameras that didn't work out of the box. Unless the camera is under a year old Moultrie wont help much.
Its just another scheme. They design them to crap out in 2-3 years. I have about 12 cams total. Alot of other guys i know have alot more. Lets go low and say 100$ per cam × 12 every 3 years.... that sucks.
