Hi Cossie

I very much doubt that a tech service manual will be available outside a Fuji repair depot. Even if you could locate one, you will probably need specialised tools and or test equipment.

Most camera manufacturers have a stock price for a repair irrespective of the fault.

just in case, try looking for the point which is used for the focus and give it a good clean with a lint free cloth & VERY CAREFULLY. it may just be dust or a fingerprint clouding the issue.
