Hi, I purchased a replacement LCD screen for my SD3500 from Rongstar DigitalInc. Since I've learned they do not have a good reputation and to make matters worse the LCD screen will not function properly. It seems to light a bit and the "touch" seems to cause camera to beep as if the touch screen were working, but no images or "scene to take" is viualized ion the screen. As I said only a faint lighting ( appears to be black as if no light coming off it) . Help! I am sure it is connected correctly. Have you heard of this problem before ??

Best Solution worked for me?!?!?. Not sure if following the instructions got the screen to come back, but it did come back. I just flipped it over to movie messed with the settings and then open up the battery door which turned off the camera. Closed the door, Flipped to photo and turned it back on and it workd. This is the second PowerShot that I have had, current SD750 and an old S230, to do this.

There is a temporary fix that works sometimes but eventually it will stop working alltogether. If canon can't help, might try this:

I used to have that, try pressing the DISP. button when the camera is in picture mode. The black screen should go away. That's how i solved the problem when i had it.
