Olympus 770sw hi thanks for the tip but it didnt work, do you have any other ideas,many thanks Alex

The issue you are experiencing with your Olympus 770SW camera, where the LCD screen is not showing an image when attempting to take a photo, could be related to a problem with the camera's display or image processing.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the camera's settings: Make sure that the camera's display settings are set to show the live view when taking a photo.
2. Check the LCD screen: Make sure the LCD screen is clean and free of any scratches or cracks.
3. Check the camera's firmware: Make sure that the camera's firmware is up to date.
4. Check the camera's battery: Make sure that the camera's battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the camera.
5. Check for physical damage: If the camera is not under warranty and you have the technical knowledge, it is possible to check the internal processing and the LCD screen for any physical damage.

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Olympus customer support for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue, or tell you if a repair is needed.
It's important to note that the Olympus 770SW is an older model camera, which makes it harder to find replacement parts and professional repair services.

Contact Olympus for the factory reset code.

Hi. You have to take your camera into a repair shop.

You have to take it to a repair shop and have it fixed.

I would take batteries out open camera the best you can and let it dry out for a week at least!! then replace battery and try again,Most times when it is fully dry the camera will start to work again! ! If that does not work I would contact the company! and even if the warranty is up they may still fix the problem for free or low cost!

buy a casio next time

Hi,

You can download them here from the Olympus site.

After only 15 days mine did the same thing. I called the dealer Olympus and they gave me a RAN number and told me where to send it. I got a call about a week later. They said because the camera had moisture inside I was not coverd. The best they would do is mail me a rebate card for 25 dollars off my next purchase. I was like WTF. The woman said sorry but that was all they could do. When I asked to speak to manager she hung up.

A If it is only three months old get it replaced either from the seller of technical support at Olympus
