Camera repair in Šiauliai is needed not only when the camera won’t turn on at all. More often the problems are smaller: photos are blurry, the lens sticks, a spot is visible in the frames, the flash no longer fires, or the camera shows an error after being dropped. In some cases it is enough to clean the sensor or the mechanism; in others, parts need to be replaced.

Camera Repair in Šiauliai: What to Bring to the Branch
The branch is located in the „Arena“ shopping centre. You can park in the centre’s car park and enter through the entrance closer to „Akropolis“ – our door is next to KIKA and JYSK. Opening hours: Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00; we are closed at weekends.
The better prepared you are when you arrive, the more clearly the fault can be identified. It is useful to bring:
- the camera itself with the lens, if the problem is related to focusing or the image;
- the battery and charger – if the camera won’t turn on, it is important to determine whether the battery is at fault;
- a memory card, if the fault only appears when taking photos (copy your photos beforehand);
- any other lenses or accessories with which the fault recurs – this helps to find the cause.
Before bringing the camera in, note down when the fault appeared and whether the camera had previously been dropped, got wet or been exposed to sand – this information shortens the diagnostics.
What to Do Before Visiting the Service Centre
If the camera has had liquid spilled on it or has fallen into water, do not try to turn it on or dry it with a hair dryer. If the body is undamaged, switch the camera off, remove the card and battery, and wipe the exterior. Moisture gradually oxidises the board, so delay often makes the repair more expensive.
If sand has got in, do not blow into the lens or turn the rings by force: tiny grains get stuck between the parts of the mechanism and scratch the glass. If you see the same spots in your photos regardless of the subject, the cause is most often a dirty sensor rather than the lens. Read more about how a camera forms an image in our article about how a camera works.
Do not disassemble the lens or body yourself. If the camera has been damaged by a fall or spill, do not try to remove the battery by force – it is better to bring it in as it is.
What Happens After You Leave Your Camera
Diagnostics is carried out first – it costs 10 €. It determines the cause of the fault, and then you can decide whether the repair is worthwhile for you. For example, sensor cleaning starts from 15 €, shutter repair from 25 €, and lens or focusing unit repair from 30 €. The final amount depends on the model and the extent of the fault.
After the repair, we provide a 2-month warranty. If the camera is insured, we can issue a photo equipment fault inspection report for the insurance company – it costs 30 €, and is covered by the insurance.
You can find more general information about camera repair on the main camera repair page.
When It Is Worth Repairing a Camera
Repair is usually worthwhile when the camera or lens is valuable and the fault is clear: a stuck shutter, a dirty sensor, a non-working flash, or a lens damaged by impact. Prices depend on the model and the fault, and after the repair you keep your familiar camera and the lenses suited to it.
You should think more carefully in the case of a very old compact camera of little value, or after a heavy spill that has damaged the mainboard. In such cases, diagnostics helps you make a decision without overpaying. If the problem is only with a phone camera, visit the phone repair page.
