If it is out of warranty, then whatever you do will not compromise that. However, if your own fix does not go well you may have to pay more if you then send it in for a repair. The choice is yours.

The mark of good photographer is less what they hold in their hand, it's more what they hold in their head;
"All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;
"Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase" Percy W. Harris
