hi, after several days, i back to the subject. hope i can still get your kind help.
i've sent the camera to a local repair store and opened the body. the repair man tell me the cams have been ruined. it seems i need a new cam. but i am not sure where i can get it. the repair man searched the hongkong market but found nothing. i am wondering if i can buy one at eBay?
thanks.

There is no way to be sure without opening up the camera. If the lenses are in good condition its worth getting the thing overhauled.
