    Hi,

    I need to get the sensor cleaned/my camera cleaned (Canon EOS 1300D).

    I have tried some cleaning swabs and blower etc but the dirt has remained.

    Where would the best place/cheapest place to go for this job in Dublin?

    I have looked for similar threads on this topic but the only one I found dated back to 2008.

    Thanks

    It might not be dirt/dust. It might be dead pixels in the image sensor.
    Did it first show up at any particular point?

    I think Gunn's is probably where is being it to get it checked.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Dead pixels, I never even thought of that. Is there anyway that I can check or test to find out for sure.

    Not sure when the problem first appeared, but I've had it for a while

    Do you have a loupe with a light on it to check the sensor?
