I have an olympus FE-290, and my sister borrowed it for a trip but when she brought it back the camera was messed up. it turns on but the screen is black except for information about the number of pictures left, what picture setting its set on, and what the pixel size is. any help on what i can do to fix it?
Re: I have an olympus FE-290, and my sister borrowed it...
I would try looking in the settings to see if the view finder option is enabled or disabled. I would also ask your sister if she change any of the settings.

If your camera comes with a warranty, you have to use it. If not go to the nearest Olympus service center. Trying to fix the camera after an accident may cause even more problems.
I just solved the problem. The lens system wire connector to the main pcb was out of this female conector. Only you need its disassemble the camera and in the back of the lcd there's the conector, press it with carefully and test your camera.

The problem you are describing is a problem with something in the lens assembly. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced.
Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if out of warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $121.85 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.
Sounds as if the camera would need to be sent to Olympus for service. You may want to call their Customer Service to discuss repair options and pricing. Their telephone number is 800-622-6372 option 2 and then option 3.
