Samsung Service expensive?

[Annie456]

I have a problem with my samsung camera - it's draining batteries within 30 seconds. I called Samsung and they said i could send it to them to have a look at (which is free) and they'll let me know how much it'll be for me to decide what to do with it. How much will i be looking at? there's definitely something wrong with it but i doubt it's anything major. Any experiences with samsung services appreciated!!

I had this problem especially when I used just ordinary batteries I was advised to use recharable high capacity I have now been using the uniross battery charger complete with 2500mph batteries and have no problems .My camera is the S amsung digimax A7

If you look back to the 18th of feb you will see the advice I got when I had that problem Hope this helps

Thats good to know - mine is the digimax V7. I lost the original charger that goes with the SLB1437 battery so maybe i should buy the charger for �20 and see how the original battery works before paying for the full service?

I should wait till someone else comes up with more answers as yours seem to be different batteries from mine which are the normal AA size but high capacity.This was my experience with batteries buy good ones and they last longer.
