I purchased a new LCD from Canon and followed the instructions to replace the cracked LCD found on the internet - thanks. No hassles in refitting the screen however after reassembly the LCD shows only very very very dimly. Has anyone had this issue to guide me with a simple fix before I put it into a camera shop?
I beleive (this is only from my memory)
their are 2 different LCD for this camera, sounds like you got the wrong one from canon, need to be sure its the same part number as your old one

Go to support on Canon's website. There is information about a problem with LCD screens on many of their cameras. I had the same problem and am in the process of returning the camera to Canon. They have offered to repair it at their expense. Good luck!
Many screen breaks happen to ruin the LCD from visibly displaying a picture. On some cameras, the screen is attached to the back plate of the camera and are very easy to replace with a new one. Some screens are attached to a video pc board and may ruin the board from displaying anything. Your best bet is to have it repaired professionally by one of our top repair providers and get an estimate first. I have repaired many good digital cameras with a LCD replacement, but I also had to purchase a broken used one for parts because new parts became to expensive to repair the one with a broken LCD. BTW: all digital cameras contain many PC boards and if you can still take pictures means the boards that control your lens, motors, CCD, and I/O boards are still intact and functional.

You didn't mention what exactly is the problem. But please review the posts on the following blog, as they cover the most likely problems to result from a dropped camera to include lens errors, shattered LCD's, and non-starting cameras:
I also cracked my Canon Powershot A630 lcd screen by dropping the camera. I saw a suggestion to buy a new replacement lens and either have it professionally replaced or try it myself. I ended up doing the replacement myself following instructions I found online. Now it works. Total cost US $63.
I would not recommend trying the replacement yourself, however. There are a few very delicate plastic parts in there which I ended up damaging. Luckily the camera and lcd screen are working great now. But it is probably worth having a professional camera repair shop do the whole job or insert the screen you've purchased. Good luck!
The camera will still work fine. The screen is only for framing your pictures and reviewing them. It will be hard to take pictures that way. Just get a new camera. It will be cheaper than repairing the screen.
Sounds like a cracked LCD. That happened to my S400, and it was pretty evident the glass screen had broken. I bought a new one and installed it myself at a cost of under $40. Having a shop do the repair will cost quite a bit more.
If you think this is the problem, do a Google search on "canon s400 lcd screen repair" and you'll find some resources to walk you through the ordering and replacement process.
