When I open out the screen of my Panasonic NG- GS17 Mini DV digital camcorder, the picture gets all fuzzed and turns to blank white. It's only if I open the screen out more than roughly 2cm, when the screen is within 2cm the picture is fine. Can this be fixed??

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.
