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!!!!

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.

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!
