Hello Tom, I had one fail on me in a very similar manner. It has been a while so having to go by recollection - I sent it in for repairs and it seems like it was around $100 to repair it. I believe the used price for one now is probably in that same ballpark.
I'd say if you have really been wanting/needing the 540, you now have the excuse. If you have been satisfied with the 360 power, then just get it fixed and save some money. -- Bruce Monday, June 11, 2007, 5:17:15 AM, you wrote: TR> my AF-360FGZ is no longer: TR> zooming TR> the light, format, zoom and channel buttons no longer work TR> the test button activates the modeling light only TR> I put fresh batteries in it but it didn't help.
