I just saw this forum/link....I have a SONY Cybershot, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar, Optical Zoom 3X, Model No. DSC-S40. Gift from Hubby...only have had it 1 1/2 years. Screen started doing lots of static like lines across it - Picture view in screen was void of color, [difficult to view what you were shooting] however pictures still came out okay. Has been doing it for about past 3-4 months...now screen totally white. Anyone else had this problem with this model? Did they fix it for free? I have been instructed by Sony Customer Service, to call Sony Technical Service at 1-866-357-6230...
You will not believe this...I happened on [the "Re: Sony DSC-S40 white LCD screen problem" link above] and found the following remedy that was shared by a Bob Allen of Allentown, Pennsylvania....ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!...MY CAMERA WORKS PERFECTLY AS LIKE NEW!!!
It fixed several other people's same model cameras too! Here's the remedy!
If you indeed have the white/blank LCD problem, save your money and try this first:
1. Hold camera firmly in left hand.
2. Smartly rap front of camera with knuckles of right hand on the "Cyber-shot" logo.
Think of the thousands of Shutter-Bugs this is going to help especially from otherwise paying for unnecessary repair bills.
I was dubious, but I just gave it a sharp tap on the logo and the white screen was replaced with a working viewfinder. Does anyone know whether Sony has accepted responsibility for this problem? I'm waiting for my DSC-F717 to be returned; it is being fixed by Sony under a legal agreement following a class action lawsuit.
I try my level best to answer your question.if you got little bit information please rate my answer.
Thank you so much
