When I turn my camera on everything seems to work properly with the exception of the display screen. It just stays black. I can view old pics but can't take any new ones.
Firstly , let me state that because I cannot see the camera or open it , my advice is extremely limited to my past experiences.
I suspect that the CCD/CMOS (the chip that physically captures light and creates the digital image) has broken.
If this is the case , a repair would cost approximately $100. This is the most common problem for a camera that takes blank images but where the menu display functions and old photo's display normally.
Check to see if the new images are downloaded correctly and if the video function works normally. If this does not work, it supports the idea that the chip has gone.
I would take it in to a repair center for an evaluation , but would not have it repaired if the CCD has to be replaced as a new or refurbished camera would cost only slightly more.
Please feel free to contact me if you need further information

I have a problem with my Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W100 digital camera. When I attempt to turn the power on to take pictures, the lense keeps opening and shutting as if I was zooming in. Nothing is displayed on the screen. It will do this for about 5 seconds. Then the screen indicates to "Turn the power off and on again". I do this, but it starts all over again. I tried to take the battery out and then put it back in, but this does not work either. Is there a way to fix this?
