HELP: Need Schematics for GL1	Can't Post

If anyone can help me find schematics for the canon GL1, I need it so that I can repair mine, and use it for school and work. I would try and return the favor.
Thank You, if you e-mail me info at tcrist@csf.edu, just tell me how to repay you!!

Contact Canon parts. You might be able to order a service manual from them for about $50 or so, if you can convince the gatekeeper that you have a reason to buy one. Also, you may have to sign a waranty waiver for any damage caused by repairs you may attempt.
Buying a service manual would be a waste for just about all owners. Very few would have the special gear necessary to work on a GL1. Also, the schematics in the manual do NOT cover all internal circuit boards, nor do they cover details of the internal BIOS, or supportd LANC commands.

In days gone by professional production cameras came with a manual. I was wondering if the service manual for the GL-1 would show a control pot for setting minor things like the brightness of the view-finder. I ordered a new GL-1 and it should be here today. I am real curious if I made the right decision.
