Damaged screen on olympus u700 camera

On a recent night out someone stepped on the display screen of my olympus u700 camera with a stilletto heel (!) and now there is a small black area where display used to be. The screen itself is not cracked or damaged, and the camera takes pictures fine... the view is just obscured when you're taking one. Does this sound like a problem that can be reapired or should I just buy a new camera?!

You can buy new lcd displays fo $50 on ebay. Just search for your model. Install is a piece of cake, not rocket science.

Check the LCD screen of the camera. You should get a message when you first plug it in to select the usb type. highlight PC and press ok. The screen should display one moment please then go off. Then the camera should be recognized by the computer.

My olympus t-100 will not turn off or on. screen went blank while reviewing pics. focus lens is stuck out.

I recently purchased the same camera (Olympus T-100) and it would do the same thing. Would lock up with a black blank screen periodically. Now, for no reason the screen has turned white and doesn't display anything at all. I went to Olympus' website with hope to download the software for it but there isn't any software for this model. I sent this problem to Olympus for an answer but I think I am just screwed, unless someone has a solution.

Hello, My Olympus u700 Camera displays an error code "D: 5e02, 5f08". What do I do? Please help! Thank you. Regards.

The problem you are describing is a problem with the sensor in the lens assembly. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced. Following are the instructions to send your camera to Olympus for service.

Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $86 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.

I have a problem with my Olympus SP- 510 UZ digital camera: Although it perfectly displays pictures taken recently, the screen remains all black when I intend to take pictures. It does take pictures...

Sounds like a repair issue with the image processing chip in the camera. You may want to call Olympus Customer Service to discuss repair options and pricing. Their telephone number is 800-622-6372 option 2 and then option 3

Menu will not display

hi, as you said, you got your camera repaired in olympus.If your camera is in guarantee period, istrongly suggest to go to olympus again.I also think as per our experience that virus can't affect the menu pad or arrow keys. I think the delicate circuit attached with mode sw ond arrow keys will be damaged. so go to olympus now. good luck...
