Question about Olympus FE-170 Digital Camera

Blank screen My Olympus FE-170 display screen is white, rather than showing whatever the lens is pointed at (regardless what mode the camera is in). Oddly, icons display just fine and stored pictures can be viewed clearly on the display. This problem occurred without warning (it was not dropped or damaged) and the camera is just one year old. Have you ever encountered this? I?ve read the entire manual and can?t find anything on the problem.

This sounds like CCD sensor is faulty and should be replaced . Camera works fine in playback mode generally with this problem but not in capture mode ( camera has gone 'blind'). Should be repaired free of charge if the camera is as old as you say.

Morning. I have an Olymous FE-170 Digital Camera.

Sounds as if this may be a repair issue with the camera. You may want to call Olympus customer service to discuss their repair policy. Their telephone number is 800-622-6372 option 2 and then option 3.

Broken Lcd panel

Broken LCD screen is quite easy to replace on the FE-170 and FE-210. I have purchased cameras with bad lens but good LCDs on ebay pretty cheaply( compared to having Olympus repair camera).

Lence problem and taking picture mode

Lens mechanism needs to be replaced. Probably has broken gears inside not allowing lens to extend completely or far enough to click sensor on. Expensive to repair by Olympus repair shop. Pretty tricky and delicate to repair on your own.

Blank Screen

Looks like CCD sensor problem. If this is the case your camera will work fine in playback mode but not in capture mode. Sensor has to be replaced.

my Olympus FE=170/X-760 camera won't turn on when i press the power button

Oct 13, 2013 | Olympus FE-170 Digital Camera

the screen comes on in scene and guide mode but when i switch to any photo mode i can't get a view. the little light at the top stays orange. will not take pic when i turn camera on it will not illuminate the back screen. if i change it knob to scene or guide mode it works fine and i can scroll through the options with ease. when i hit ok to change it over to taking a photo, all goes dark and the little orange/green light stays on orange. if i press the other button at the top for review, it goes right into review mode and the screen comes on again. please help. i bought it used and am wondering if i just got ripped. also, does it have any kind of internal memory? i've found that my regular memory card does not fit into this camera. whats up with that? what size card does it need?
