The dial is probably part of the entire model dial which is inside the camera and connected by a flex circuit. Not a home repair. I wouldn't be too quick to ship off to Olympus "Service" in El Paso Texas.

I think Olympus is investigating the possibility of opening their own service center. Their desperate move to Precision Camera repair has been a disaster.

Did you buy these cameras new?  Did you register them with Olympus?  If
so you should have been advised that there was a recall of E-M5s because
of the crack in the LCD cover.  See
<http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support.asp>  You should
be able to send them to Olympus (at their expense) to have them repaired.

I don't know about the rear control wheel.  It looks like the plastic
shaft has broken off.  If the camera is still under warranty I should
think that would be fixed free of charge as well and at the same time. I
wouldn't try to fix this myself.  I think a proper repair will require
at least partial disassembly of the camera since the broken shaft
appears to descend into the camera.

I received the notice of the LCD cover crack perhaps as long as a year
ago.  My camera was not affected.  I sure hope my rear control dial
doesn't break off.

Hi all,

I have been enjoying these cameras and lenses, specially with the Leica
25/1.4 for a while. The other day I was cleaning the camera with a cloth
and the program wheel came out and I cannot put it back again. I can't
believe it! I never had to repair my OM4Ti in many years of use. I would
like to fix the screen in both cameras because it has a small crack on
the
plastic bezel at the bottom in the center. I guess it's a  manufacturer
defect. Do you know where can I buy at least the wheel to put it back? I
don't want to waste hundreds of dollars because of the wheel.
