I just replied your previous question that this problem occurs due to ccd imager chip failure that will be replaced to get live view in camera mode to take fresh pictures. Local camera repair shop will replace it, let me know if you need part number of ccd imager chip of DSC-T33 camera.
when problem occur while cam is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and may display the service mode display code. in your case, C:31:40, pertains to a part of the cam tape compartment mechanism called the drum that doesn't start up. issues could prevent you from recording, playing back tapes, rewinding or fas forwarding. t/s steps are: try diff tapes esp. w/prev recordings, reset cam (press reset button while cam is on, located just below the menu button, in the panel where the lcd screen goes to), power reset (remove batt and ac adapter and leave cam w/ any power source for at least a minute). if issue persists, unit will require repair. hope this helps.tnx:)
To format the card:
1 Pressing the Erase mode button and the Flash mode
button at the same time sets the screen to the YES/NO
display.
2 Press the OK button to start formatting (the Card error
indicator blinks). Press the Erase mode button to cancel
the mode.
3 When the card formatting is done, the Card error indicator
goes off.
To re-format the card intentionally:
Press the Erase mode button and the LCD monitor ON/OFF
button simultaneously, with the power OFF, to set to the Yes/No display and then press ok.
This can be due to various reasons
1)The driver is corrupted: The camera's drivermay be corrupted. Uninstall the driver and any software and then connect the camera to the PC and then re-install the software.
OR
2)The USB cable might be faulty. Remove the memory card from the cam and try using a USB card reader(You can get one for 5$) and see if works. If it does may be then its time to buy a new USB cable for your cam.
3)Last but not least the cam's firware may been corrupted. Its pretty easy to flash the firmware so we can try it. Let me know if the above solutions worked or not so that we can try the firmware update
There are quite a few of us with symilar problem, but the screen is not completely black: it has some purple or pinkish color when facing light. Old pics and menu can still be viewed. I noticed 4 symilar threads on Canon A95 within the last 5 mins without any search, just looking at the top questions.
How do you know it is not your camera's display screen. Download pics to computer to verify. If you do not have a computer, take mem card to a retail photo Kiosk or counter; walmart, drugstores, etc.
If they are still white after reading card, and a pick file exists, then it is probably the Record Mode, pic taking mode, of the camera that is defective, of some setting out of whack.
Try removing the cam battery and reinstall after a 10 sec waiting time. This will reset the camera and put setting back to DEFAULT mfg settings.
Look at the little display on the back. Keep pressing the small silver mode button on the back until it has CA in the screen. Press the button you take photos with once, the CA will start flashing, press the button you take photos with again (within 5 seconds of the flashing starting).
If it has worked the number of photos available will have gone back to the maximum possible for the settings you have selected which will be 26, 52, 104 (04) or 208 (08).
