hi
just clean the 15 pin connector in the cpu end

Hi!
Have you tried pushing the DISP button while taking pictures? It's on the right from the LCD.

You either have bad Main bd and or a bad T-Con bd on the Panel. Have a trained samsung tech troubleshoot the set.

did you drop it?, most likely this occurs of people drop their cameras and the inside connection dislocates. simple solution is to take it apart and fix any loose connection on the lcd and put it bak together. if that doesn't solve it, order a new lcd for it, unless if it's lesss of a hastle getting a new camera

you have to change your screen the driver having problem

If you can get a replacement screen (ebay from a broken camera with working LCD screen?), it's not too hard:

Here is what my pics look like. It was a progressive defect, some good pics, then these in between. Now they are all bad. I found this info below... even though the SP350 is not listed, I am going to call Olympus tomorrow. Good luck!

The camera takes blank images, or the image is distorted

• There are a number of digital cameras models sold by Canon, Fuji, Konica-Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Ricoh, and Sony (and possibly others) which use CCDs (image sensors) manufactured by Sony which have had a high rate of failure. Details can be found at http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1128958202.html
• Most manufacturers will replace defective CCDs affected by this problem at no charge, regardless of warranty status. This service advisory (technically, it is not a "recall", since recalls are related to safety issues) only applies to certain models and certain serial number ranges.
• If your camera exhibits the symptoms listed above, we recommend following the link or calling Olympus Customer Service at 800-622-6372. We do not replace the CCDs in Camedia or Digital Stylus models.

Switch on camera into Shutter mode. Put lenscap over lens or block it so you get a black LCD. Have a look at that first. Only a general indication but if there ARE any bad pixels on the LCD they will be visible as coloured dots. Not too important as THAT doesn't affect the pic but personally I would not put up with it - took one back for exchange for that reason .. who wants to look at spots. The CCD is the real one to look for. With lens still blanked off to a black screen set the shutter at 2 secs, take a pic then set at 4 secs, take another pic. You won't see much on the LCD so you should download those tests to your editior - Paintshop Pro, Photoshop or whatever. THEN you get a much bigger pic (black) to look at. You'll probably find at least one or two little spots, almost inevitable with many, but you should NOT get many and also very noticeably bad spots. If so , complain and exchange.
