Sony DSC-T300 vibration problem

Items came from different time and place makes it useless when it reaches it's life span. Like Sony DSC-T300 it's a 5 year old digicam spare parts replacements is so rare nowadays, and may cost unacceptable price. I have this unit too.. But one time I experience this Shaking and shocking moment ^_^.

The main suspect of this Spectacular Ones is the defective Steady Shot Unit. 

WHAT IS THE USE OF STEADY SHOT UNIT?
      ANSWER: It preserves picture quality even in moving condition.. example is video recording while driving. The video will look steady even you recorded it in a bumpy car
So, What is the remedy to this shaking moment?

TWO METHODS THE SIMPLEST AND CHEAPEST:

FIRST METHOD:

1. On the camera Screen, Tap "MENU" on the bottom left of the screen
2. Submenu will appear, Select "SteadyShot"
3. Turn it OFF
4. Tap "OK" on the top right of the screen
5. Test!

If First Method Didn't worked, here's second method



SECOND METHOD:

NOTE:  You will see blinking E:62:20 on the screen because Steady shot unit was detached. But no effect on the image quality

STEP 1:  Take a screw driver then Remove screws. (see pictures)



STEP 2: After removing the screws.. remove the color silver cover, 


STEP 3: To have access to the defective Steady Shot unit we have to unpin/unplug the lens ribbon from the board (see pictures)

STEP 4: Turn over the wide orange ribbon after doing STEP 3, after that we can now also disconnect the Steady Shot unit from the camera system, which is not so important and making our Sony DSC-T300 useless because it's shaking. (see pictures)
