Problem for Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital Camera

Canon SD870IS LCD is very dark

By karenow888 on Sep 22, 2009

" "

When I turn on the camera, the LCD is dark. If I shine light directly on it, I can somewhat see what the camera is pointing at. Seems light the light bulb (if there is one) is out. Can this be fixed and how much would it cost?

Most likely the display backlight fuse is blown. You will have to give it to a local repair shop or Canon service center. They will give you the price.

This is possibly the backlight or a fuse / board that powers it. If you need a hand with this, I'd say to go to: camerasandparts.com They're totally amazing if you need help with a Canon, that's all they deal with. They have your exact problem posted on their site, best of luck taking care of it.
