Nikon Coolpix S3 Digital Camera Logo
Posted on Apr 15, 2008

The camera powers on fine, although it has a black screen with no image. What type problem is this and is it fixable or not. When I go to look at the pictures I took while the display screen was blacked out the screen remains with no image. I just turned on my camera the other day and I can still acces my menu, I can see the camera details in the corner and even view old pictures but when I turn it on eveything else is black! I can't take any new pictures because of the black screan. Is this fixable??? I think its just past its warrenty..any solutions???

    I have the same problem. Never had a problem with the camera before. I have tried to download new software from Nikon, but could not find any. I have remvoed the battery, taken out the memory card and reset all settings to default with no success.

Lumix DMC-FX07 shows purple/pink blurry image

It may be fixable, but would be expensive. Probably time for a replacement - they do not seem to be very expensive second hand.

Blank screen when taking a picture

Yes it is. Press the DISP button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the screen on and off to save batteries.

No preview image. Black screen LCD

The problem is not with the LCD or the camera - You have got it set to ecomony / power save mode. Fixable through camera settings.

Dropped Ixus 50 in water...!

place your camera in a hot press, or where your boiler is, on shelf and it might dry out in a day or two, then try it again.

Lens stuck

Yes it is fixable. if there is a friction in the movement of the lense cover blades this happens. If it is due to fine sand or dust try using a soft brush with a rubber pump fitted at the back so that it cen blow the sand off the camera. The problem is not that big for going for a new camera.

Black screen

If you can play back images ok ( colour & resolution normal ) but in capture mode you have no image then the CCD sensor in your camera is faulty. Replace.
