I had a white screen and tapped the logo and it worked. Surely this is a problem Sony should get a grip of!

The LCD connector -Flexible has to be pulled out and reconnected after cleaning.Use a good Tweezers so that the film does not get damaged.
If this does not improve,and if the images are ok. after you connect to a PC,the LCD display has to be replaced.
For a service manual or spares you can write to me.

It could be simply a loose LCD screen connector which would be under $100 from an independent repair shop. Or it might be a defective CCD which is a FREE warranty repair by Sony. Go here to troubleshoot it yourself and get the link to get a mailing label to Sony : http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds....

I think a gentle tap near the LCd casing might clear the problem.
If the LCD is defective come back to me.
