If you opened and unable to find the switch, then the switch might be snapped, or the sw slider was not aligned to the sw itself. you can find it by aligning the sw slider of the back cover to the main board, its a very small switch soldered on the board near the upper portion of the LCD panel. If you find it, slide it to leftmost, at the same time, move also to the leftmost the sw slider at the back cover. Assemble it carefully, thanks

DSC-S40 Can view pictures but camera shuts off when turned to camera mode

I assume so...mine is doing it as well. Even weirder is you hold a combo of buttons (i think power and mic, I dont remember exactly) and you can go into this manufacturers menu for setting up and testing the device. In that, it will take pictures and everything...and still i cannot get it to stop shutting off like that. It makes a weird clicking noise when it shuts off too...sounds like the shutter perhaps. Click click. If you find a solution to it please email me at [email protected]

GRAINY PICTURES

Noisy pictures = High ISO in almost all cases. Select ISO manually (select a manual mode where you can control the ISO) and set it to the lowest possible value. To avoid camera shake, place the camera on a tripod or another sturdy surface; or use the flash

So much LCD trouble...screen is blank/black

CCD sensor fault ( not outputting anything so no pictures captured ). Have the sensor replaced but try to have it done free of charge. Sony does replace them free of charge but you have to check with them ( not all models with this fault are repaired free of charge ).

DSC 40 powering problem

I'm having a similar problem with a DSC S60: The camera will turn on in preview mode, but powers off as soon as I switch into STILL or VIDEO mode. I've changed batteries, done the full reset (remove the batteries and then hold the power button down for 15 secs.), and initialized all setting to factory defaults from the menu, and still get the same behaviour.
