-   My daughter also has a Nikon L12 which she bought in December 2006. Last week the screen stopped working just like hend7618 described - a black leaf shaped "splotch" across the screen. The camera still takes photos but without a viewfinder it's a little tricky to see what you're shooting.
I never dropped my 5 month old camera---took it out from my purse & noticed that it had a "sunshine" pattern in the screen---very frustrated!! Will it cost more to fix it then to buy a new camera?

My problem is that I get pink lines when I take photos. It shows in my downloads. I want to know if it is repairable and how much it would cost.
Apparently this is a common problem. My daughter's camera is less than a month old, with the same leaf-like splotchy pattern. She was keeping it in a case. I haven't seen a solution yet; does anyone have one to offer?
My daughter has a Coolpix L12 - bought in May 2007 - and has taken very good care of it. She takes multitudes of pics every day. Put camera up one night in perfect working order. The next day when she turned it on, the screen is white with a black leaf-looking "splotch" and I can also see red and green dots within the black areas. The camera would still take pictures, you just couldn't see them on the screen. Then, a couple of week later, the camera has quit working completely. Will not take pictures, will not turn off unless you remove the battery, the lens will not retract. And as usual - while the warranty is still good, it won't cover a broken screen. They assume abuse even though I know that is not the case. The warranty company says the lcd screen is probably broken even though the outer protective screen is not. They have informed me that I will have to repair the screen before they will look at the problem of the camera not working.
My daughter got a Nikon Coolpix for Christmas,2007. Hers worked fine for 6 months! She has downloaded pictures and placed the camera back in its case. She took the camera out of the case the next day to charge the battery before a hiking trip and the screen is "half white". She has not dropped or abused the camera in any way. Not sure what the cost of repair is for this problem. The camera was not cheap!

Coolpin 3100 - i too have the same problem - a broken screen - is it replaceable - is a spair available?
My Nikon is an L10 and the screen is broken too; i have no idea how. It is black and has leaf-like looking stems coming throughout the screen. Is this fixable? It seems like more than one person is having the exact same problem with their Nikons.
