My Cyber-shot DSC-S40 LCD screen is still white. I tried looking for the Cyber shot logo that several people have recommended to try and correct the problem, but I can't see it. My camera is just over a year old. Any suggestions are much appreciated. thanks Ed
On the front of the camera, under the flash, two inches from the lens, hit this spot not hard just firm. Do it with the cam ON so you can see it work. Now if you want to fix it you will need to take it apart
It works for me to...thanks Muccione...it's unbelieveble...
It works yipee
Worked for me too, thanks!
I was on here to ask for help with my "white screen problem" as well, but thanks to Miccionne!! My problem is fixed! You're awesome!
That Sony should front up and realise how many of their cameras are obviously doing this and have a recall of them. You only have to google "Sony Cyber-shot screen goes white" to see how many are doing it!!!!
The sweet spot tap works! Pure genius, simple and effective.
Now can you tell me where to hit so I can lower my high cholesterol....
Thank you so much muccione, it works.
God Bless You
Your a bloody genius mate nice one!!!!
Thanks, Y'all. I tapped it and it worked. THANKS!!!!
Worked a treat thanks
Muccione! Thanks, it worked!!
Miccionne,
Thanks for the info regarding the "sweet spot".
It worked like magic!
Just wish I were brave enough to open the camera for the permanent repair.....
THANKS for saving me from purchasing another camera!
Muccione
Bedankt voor de tip hij werkt weer na drie tikken
Muccione - you are a star. Just saved me buying yet another digital camera afetr my second Sony developed this White Screen problem. Your solution worked brilliantly. Thanks. IanMo
Muccione, you beautiful darling person! I selected a spot about 10mm below the flash tube on the front, and tapped it on the corner of a wooden table, and caplow! my lcd screen returned!!! How did you find this out?? Cheers, ninglus

Hitting that spot worked.... I was ready to toss it in the garbage and buy a new camera.... THANKS....
Sony Technical customer support is the place to go Is it only just over a year old. This is a hardware failure- connector loose or a firmware failure on the main board. There will not be a repair by a third party firm available to you. Sony- be nice to them - fib a little is it only just over a year you will possibly get a total replacement or a 'swap out' for a small fee.
If you need a new LCD pl.contact me. sonyspares

Sony DSC-S40 Permanet Fix (White LCD Screen) - How can I safely open the camera's cabinet?
My DSC-S40 is still white after many trials.
Can't take photos.
Power is on. But scree is white.
Regards
When I on my camera a question arise to set the time and date every time. And when I take stills itz seems to be white and lines all over the screen.
In my camera there is white display every time when i take stills, and when i switch in camera ask for setting date and time often????
When I turn on my camera the lcd screen shows blank white and does not show any images.
I have same problem: when I switch on, screen is blank white. Camera actually takes pictures OK, but you can't see them on the screen. I consulted the online manual at http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2589978121.p... pages 72, 73 and 58. It looked as if it might have been that I disconnected the camera from the computer after downloading some pics, without doing the "disconnect hardware" routine as described on p 58, so I did that, several times, and in different combinations, like removing the usb before switching off the camera and visa versa, but all to no avail. The camera is still usable, but only if viewing throughthe eyepiece.
I contacted some sonycentres, but they only do a send-away service, which costs 45 pounds sterling non-refund deposit. Any suggestions???
Whenever i switch on my camera or when i click a pic or a video the screen remains white ...Any solutions to this?
Same issue: LCD remains white - camera is just over 1 year old and has never been hooked up directly to a computer. I always remove the memory stick when the camera is "off" and put the memory stick in the computer port.
Camera will still take movies and still photos outdoors, still zooms and powers on and off just fine. The LCD just shows white.
Called Sony but they want $115 to fix it (a new non-sony camera is a cheaper option). One month out of warranty and Sony said too bad!
