Still have a white LCD Screen! (by 10 users)
My Cyber-shot DSC-S40 LCD screen is still white. I tried looking for the Cyber shot logo that several people have recommended to try and correct the problem, but I can't see it. My camera is just over a year old. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
thanks Ed

Same issue: LCD remains white - camera is just over 1 year old and has never been hooked up directly to a computer. I always remove the memory stick when the camera is "off" and put the memory stick in the computer port.
Camera will still take movies and still photos outdoors, still zooms and powers on and off just fine. The LCD just shows white.
Called Sony but they want $115 to fix it (a new non-sony camera is a cheaper option). One month out of warranty and Sony said too bad!

I have same problem: when I switch on, screen is blank white. Camera actually takes pictures OK, but you can't see them on the screen. I consulted the online manual at http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2589978121.pdf pages 72, 73 and 58. It looked as if it might have been that I disconnected the camera from the computer after downloading some pics, without doing the "disconnect hardware" routine as described on p 58, so I did that, several times, and in different combinations, like removing the usb before switching off the camera and visa versa, but all to no avail. The camera is still usable, but only if viewing throughthe eyepiece.
I contacted some sonycentres, but they only do a send-away service, which costs 45 pounds sterling non-refund deposit. Any suggestions???

Is it only just over a year old.
This is a hardware failure- connector loose or a firmware failure on the main board.
There will not be a repair by a third party firm available to you.
Sony- be nice to them - fib a little is it only just over a year
you will possibly get a total replacement or a 'swap out' for a small fee.
