My camera fell and now the LCD flip screen is broken and black. What to do ?

iPod Nano 2G apparently uses the same display.

Installing a new LCD is fairly easy in this model.
#1 Remove two bottom screws
#2 Remove four side screws
#3 Slide off silver side panel on the left Front side of the camera
#4 Carefully remove front cover (careful to pry off from the top)
#5 Flip over front cover and release the power panels ribbon cable from the system board
#6 Flip over plastic protector
#7 Remove Back Cover from LCD side
#8 The LCD is being held by 3 ribbon cables.
(This next step should be done very carefully - damage can occur if it is done incorrectly)
#9 Release the middle ribbon cable by carefully flipping up the black portion of the clamp.
Equal pressure should be applied to the full black portion when attempting to flip open.
Do not use excessive force.
#10 Release remaining cables and remove LCD.

To assemble just reverse the steps. We have color diagrams available just ask.

Thank you

is very easy. you will need only a cross screw driver. This operation should take no more then 15 - 20 minutes

You need a set of philips screw drivers size #0,#00 and #000. Buy parts camera with stuck out lens but good lcd from ebay. Then replace the lcd screen and the led back light assembly connected by flexible circuit and flip up connector.

You will have to send it away to have a new screen fitted

you have broken the lcd sir...

If you do a Google search for 'digital camera parts' the first listing is a website that can help you. The LCD is $55 with shipping. The website name is: Darntoothysam com, then search by your camera model numer, A540.

ok " the lcd. screen has a thin flat cable going to the main board inside, it has to be replaced.

if the black lines u see across the screen looks like leaking ink, then it probly is, suggest u get a replace lcd for your phone

Can you shoot? battery might be low taking it to "save-power" mode. Try hitting "DISPLAY" to force the LCD screen to show.
