My olympus fe-170 lcd screen won't show ANY pictures.

Unfortunately, the picture error message means that the image been modified such that the camera can't read it. It is possible that the camera thinks the picture was taken by another camera. Since the picture is still good when you check it with the computer, it hasn't been damaged. Archive the picture and make sure to back it up after it goes on the computer. (If the computer couldn't view it, then you'd need some sort of file recovery software and might not get the entire image back.)

Manuals for the FE-115 are available from the Olympus site: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_archived_product_details.asp?id=1227&fl=8 .

I hope this helps.

Stephan is exactly right. I have a FE-4000 and the LCD screen is most likely dead. As Stephan said, the screen should be replaced by a professional.

Cheers to all

I put the memory card in and on some of my photos it shows the pictures and others it says picture error. Also, when I go to view all pictures, it doesn't show them, they're just blank black boxes.

check the lens the lens might be closed if are open and hold for 5 seconds if it doesnt work take it to a specialist

my olympus FE-170 screen won't show any picture. All other things are fine and working the screen just won't show pictures taken or a picture i'm aout to take. the camera is about 2 years old i've had no problems with it till now. Can someone pleeeaaasssse tell me their is an easy solution to this.

ccd may be going out.. try doing a reset thru the menu or else..repair

I am having same problem. View is black/blank, digital shutter appears to work but not photo taken. Returning camera to dealer as this appears to be an Olympus manufacturer error.

I had the same exact problem.The lens is not extending out fully or correctly, probably has broken or damaged gear or gears and needs to be replaced. Expensive repair done by Olympus. It is a very tricky and fragile repair on your own, requiring micro screwdrivers and soldering tool. I replaced my own lens but it was hard to find one.

i don't know what age the camera is, did you try full batteries , normally it shouldn't do this it must have a defect if the batteries are not the problem..

perhaps contact the dealer see what is wrong with it..

You checked the obvious, lens cover? (sorry had to ask) any grinding noises when you take a picture or focus\zoom?
