GZ-MS 130AU Camera. There seems to be a loose wire in the door. When I open it, the camera turns on, but the screen goes black, if it is open just an inch, I can film, any more than that, and the screen is black. Is this something I can fix myself? I don't want to undo those tiny screws if that isn't the problem area. Thanks!

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

You can also open the LCD, flip it all the way around, and close it again with the LCD on the outside. Ours does the same thing, but will work with the LCD closed and operating so you can see the screen on the outside.
