Question about Canon PowerShot S400 / IXUS 400 Digital Camera

Blurry screen, takes ok pictures

I have a problem with my Ixus 400, when trying to take a photo, the screen has 1/2 of the screen covered in vertical lines, and a very blurry image.. the left and right edge is ok, and when the camera focus locks.. the green square is shown properly overlaying the blurred image. the photo comes out ok, and the menu and picture review all likes perfectly normal.. i just can't use the screen as a viewfinder any more. The screen has been relpaced previously, and i am guessing it isn't an issue with the CCD.. maybe the motherboard or something to do with the processor??

Well you may be right or yet another dud screen Canon support will advise - but as it has been repaired previously- it may be time to replace it

No image -- just colors on led and photo

I found the same fault, but for me it is intermittent. I have tried all sorts of things to clear it, but the best seems to be leave it turned off for a while. I bought my Ixus 400 in Sept 03 and the fault started in Jun 07. It shows already taken pictures with no problem on review on the LED screen, but the screen blurs (with motion) and records that same blurred image.
