Question about Olympus FE-170 Digital Camera

2 Answers

Lcd screen is black

Camera only used a couple of times and shows all menu icons on screen but otherwise all black. It flashes like it is taking a picture but shows a black screen upon playback as well. Is worth fixing? I bought the camera out of state so I can't take it back.

Same here CookieLuvr. I bought the camera Christmas 2007 and all pictures are black, but the menu screens all work. Any idea on the warranty?

LCD Display is Black
the image in the LCD monitor will darken in strong sunlight or bright light. This is normal occurrrence in device CCDs and does not contitute a malfunction. This image will not be recoded when shooting still photos, but it will be recorded wihen shooting movies.Read you owner manual and adjust the MENU, according with your o. manual.Otherwise you must go the repair shop
God bless you

When i take photos it shows black screen samsung I85
Hi David:
If you can check menu settings there, isn't the LCD screenviewer issue; then sound like a malfunctioning CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor... in both cases (LCD or CCD) this isn't a job that you could solve yourself; this wrong include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.

I suggest check this link for additional details in this previous solutions for an Defective CCD and next contact your Canon service. I strongly suggest (taking into consideration the age of your camera) to evaluate the cost of repair versus the cost of a new camera with similar features, before making a final desicion.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

The view screen is black and you can't see what you're taking the pic. Battery is ok
If camera shows Menu item or any on-screen display in LCD but no live view to take picture then it can be either aperture problem or defective ccd imager.
And if you do not see any display icon in LCD then of course LCD section is bad or LCD back light is Off for some reason. Try to see faint image in LCD if it is totally blank by pointing good amount of light with flash light or some thing.

LCD Display Blank
I have a sony cybershot DSC-S650, the LCD was very dark and could not see anything except if I pointed it at a bright object, everything else worked ok. I could take pictures but could barely see them in playback as well.

I took it to Sony authorised repair outlet and was told the CCD was damaged, they charged me USD $55 to repair it (in Quito, Ecuador)

the screen comes on in scene and guide mode but when i switch to any photo mode i can't get a view. the little light at the top stays orange. will not take pic when i turn camera on it will not illuminate the back screen. if i change it knob to scene or guide mode it works fine and i can scroll through the options with ease. when i hit ok to change it over to taking a photo, all goes dark and the little orange/green light stays on orange. if i press the other button at the top for review, it goes right into review mode and the screen comes on again. please help. i bought it used and am wondering if i just got ripped. also, does it have any kind of internal memory? i've found that my regular memory card does not fit into this camera. whats up with that? what size card does it need?
