Camera help...


Question Posted Wednesday January 14 2009, 9:16 am

Hey, Theymos.
I'm having a problem with my digital camera. I got it for Christmas, and it has been working just fine. Yesterday, about 20 minutes into taking pictures at a party, the LCD screen went completely blank. It's kind of a bright light color every time it's on. I can't see what I'm taking pictures of (although it does still take pictures - I was still able to upload them today. They turned out crap because I couldn't see what I was photographing, though). I haven't ever dropped the camera, and nothing has spilled on it. There is no reason I can think of that the LCD screen won't work. I've turned it off and on. If the battery was dying, it would just shut off because that has already happened before. I've tried switching the camera setting from 'easy' to 'scenery' to 'video', to every other setting there is, and the LCD still comes up as just a bright light.

That's the exact camera I have. I even bought it at Best Buy.

I hope you can help! I don't have my manual or anything because I've already left for school (college), and my mom insisted I left everything with her because she's anal about keeping any and all paperwork. I just hate to call her and tell her the camera is already busted, especially if there's something I can do about it.

It sounds like the connection to the screen is broken, and only the backlight is on. You can't fix this yourself without voiding the warantee. Take it somewhere to get fixed. It's probably just a loose wire somewhere, so it shouldn't be too expensive.
