My screen is broken on my Sony DSC - H1. Can it be repaired and is it worth repairing to replacing

You can get a good used LCD pulled from a camera online for about $40 to install yourself. I don't get paid by that big auction website, so I don't type their name, sorry.

Check the replacement price from here: http://www.ownta.com/sony-dsc-w55-digital-camera-repairing-lcd-screen-for-replacement.html

Then, you will know whether it is worth to buy or not.

you can send it to sony repair or call and see if they have local (regional repair p;lace) you may check for free replacement, one of my digitals was repaired free since screen on that model was classified defective(NOT sure if it was a Sony though) worth a shot!

How to replace the shutter button on SONY CyberShot DSC-H5 digital camera

I actually have the exact same problem with the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H9 It says Access because it's strugglign to read the media card you have in it. Sometimes trying a different card works, but it likely needs hardware repair. mine is in the shop for the 2nd time with the same problem.

If you can do the repair yourself, you can buy either the complete shutter button assembly for about $40, or there is a repair kit available where you rebuild the broken button.

There is only ONE PLACE to buy the repair kit with instructions: DARNTOOTHYSAM com. Do a Google search for 'digital camera parts' and Darntoothysam is the first listing shown. Feel free to look elsewhere but you won't find the $20 repair kit anywhere else and on the Darntoothysam blog page there are instructions to tell you how to install it yourself.

If you don't want to try and install it, there is a repair package on Darntoothysam for only $50 that includes the part and installation plus return shipping of the camera to you!

Hope this helps.

I recieved my new shutter button from Sony and replaced it after searching on the net how to do so. I used rubber gloves to get a good grip on the button ring and turned it, I believe clockwise, and then replaced the it with the new button and ring. So simple and saved myself a lot of $$ though, $30 seems an awful lot for such a small piece of cheap plastic.

Dear Martin,
Thanks for your interest but I don't live in USA. therefor I would recommend please contact nearest Sony Service Center for proper repair of your camera.
Regards,

it is due to the friction in the lense movement. your camera needs repairs.
