Here we have some information about what I believe to be the #1 camera repair issue: broken LCD screens.
We live in a throw-away society, it's a simple fact. You buy that brand new fancy digital camera with all the bells and whistles for $400, and in 6 months to 1 year it's worth maybe half that, and then the unthinkable happens: you drop it and it breaks. The LCD is cracked, or the lens is jammed; what do you do? You head back to the store with your poor little camera and the guy behind the counter (that knows nothing about cameras except for what's written on the box, and even less about camera repair) tells you it's not worth it to fix it and you should toss it in the trash. You feel ripped off and mad at the camera manufacturer and you toss it out and buy a new one made by somebody else.
There are alternatives, there are ALWAYS alternatives to every problem. Honest! Yes, it may cost $100 to fix your camera, and yes you can buy that camera in the bubble pack on the shelf at W**l M**t (they don't pay my bills... I don't advertise their name, sorry) for less than $100, but what kind of quality do you honestly expect from a $100 camera? Not very good quality I hope, because you're not going to get it.
#1 - Broken/cracked LCD screen.
It was hard for me to choose between a jammed lens and a broken LCD screen but I stuck with LCD for #1 because it's so easy to break your LCD that you don't even have to touch the camera to do it!
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the view screen on the back of the camera that lets you see menus, playback pictures etc. The LCD is very thin, very fragile, and on many many cameras completely UNPROTECTED! Look at the back of your camera, is the screen recessed slightly or is the back of the camera flat and smooth? If it's flat you have a protective 'window' or 'glass' over the LCD to help prevent damage and breakage. If it's not flat, you have nothing protecting your LCD and should put a good quality LCD screen protector on the camera and NOT those thin, flimsy 'saran wrap' plastic film screen protectors, they are worthless.
- Don't leave your camera in your car in summer or winter. Extreme heat can cause expansion of the liquid in the LCD and cause it to 'crack', and on the other side of things extreme cold can cause it to freeze!
- Don't put anything up against the LCD in your camera bag, it will bang against the LCD and crack it (yes, even if it has a window over it, it will break!)
- Don't put your camera in your back pocket and then sit down!
- Don't put your camera in your front pocket and then roll over on it.
- ... Just don't put your camera in your pants pocket please. =)
Ok, so it's broken, what do you do now?
- The manufacturer will just site impact damage and will refuse the repair even if the camera wasn't dropped etc. You can try, and I wish you luck, but they probably won't fix it.
- Look for a defective camera on e**y (hey they don't pay me to advertise for them...) and make one good camera from the two if you are handy.
- Look for an actual camera repair business and not somebody that will send it to the manufacturer and tell you it's $200 and 4-6 weeks to repair. (IF they tell you this, they are NOT repairing your camera for you, they are sending it to the manufacturer, guaranteed)
Many LCD screens are very easy to install and you can do it yourself and all you need is a small screwdriver. Other LCD's are very difficult to install, and even professionals don't like to do them! I can't tell you Brand .... is the best and Brand ... is the worst, it's really not like that. Certain SERIES of cameras have 1 or 2 models that are difficult to work on, yet the rest of them are fairly straight forward. You need to decide for yourself if you want to open your camera and try the repair yourself or not.
How is an LCD replaced?
With most Canon digital camera LCD screens for example (using them as the example because they have the largest market share) all you do is disconnect the ribbon cable for the LCD and the backlight (the light that shines through the LCD and allows you to see what is on the screen) and then install the new LCD. Some come with the backlight attached, some do not. Some backlights need to be soldered to the mainboard of the camera, some do not.
- Be careful to not touch the flash capacitor contacts! You WILL zap yourself if you do, and it will HURT a bit. You will probably throw your camera across the room when it happens. (Yeah, I've done it, I've been repairing cameras for 5 years now so....) We have 'flash capacitor dischargers' and use them every time we open a camera.
I hope this sheds some light on the subject. You do not have to throw your camera away because the LCD is broken, and you can even fix it yourself!

DIGIOP Black 600 TVL 0.3 Lux Dome Security Camera $189.99 This high-resolution outdoor varifocal dome camera delivers a crisp 600 lines of resolution. The built-in premium 2.8-11mm varifocal, auto-iris zoom lens allows you to adjust your camera to achieve the exact field of view you need.Other features include Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), On Screen Display (OSD), Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR), Digital Slow Shutter (DSS), and built-in Motion Detection for enhanced performance and greater flexibility.Our DIGIOP Black dome camera designs are based on direct feedback from our customers to deliver the ultimate in simplicity and convenience, saving you valuable time and money.

This camera comes with a 5-year warranty, and is backed by the unparalleled lifetime support of the SC Direct Support Team.Features and CapabilitiesDigital Noise Reduction — Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) technology offers several benefits. First, DNR delivers a cleaner signal, resulting in up to 70% disk space savings – so you can store more video evidence on your hard drive. Next, cameras equipped with DNR technology deliver a more visually appealing image, making it easier to identify suspects.Finally, DNR technology makes it easier for your camera to distinguish between true motion and image noise – allowing for your DVR to be more efficient in motion detection – especially in low light conditions.How it works: The chip in a camera is constantly picking up noise (fine static) in your images, especially in low-light modes. DNR technology compensates for this, correcting imperfections in the image by removing a large percentage of this noise. When a DVR or computer is processing the video data, it must compress and save every part of the image that is moving. The less noise in the image, the less data the DVR will save, and the more real motion it will detect.Wide Dynamic Range — Wide dynamic range (WDR) enables the camera to deliver video with near perfect exposure in the harshest of lighting conditions.To accomplish this, wide dynamic cameras use advanced digital processing to capture two images at different exposures, and then combine them into a single image.WDR cameras are ideal for challenging lighting situations, such as doorways or windows to the outside, looking into car headlights, or any application looking into a direct light source. They are also ideal in opposite conditions, such as looking from a well lit area into a darker area.Digital Slow Shutter — Digital Slow Shutter (DSS) allows you to see clear ima |

ACTi 1.3 Megapixel IP IR D/N PoE Outdoor Bullet Camera $619.99 This IP bullet camera can compress and transmit real time images with outstanding image quality (SXGA, 1280x1024 resolution) at reasonable bandwidth through a standard TCP/IP network. The camera is Ethernet ready and offers dual MPEG-4/MJPEG streaming at Megapixel resolution in both formats.Features of this camera include selectable compression options, two-way audio and built-in motion detection.1.3 Megapixel ImagerImages taken with a megapixel camera are usually sharper and have better color depth; two of the most deciding factors when it comes to making a positive identification. In addition, by starting off with such a high resolution, image clarity is maintained even under digital magnification. This will allow the use of a single camera to do the same job normally requiring the installation of two or more conventional cameras.Weatherproof Camera with SunshadeThe IP66 rated enclosure and integrated sunshade lets you safely use this camera outdoors in rain or shine without the need for an additional camera housing.Optimized for Day & Night SurveillanceFor night viewing, the camera uses an array of built-in IR LEDs plus a mechanical IR cut filter system. Working together, these ensure that you can capture any activity within view after dark.Progressive Scan ImagerImagine viewing a still image of a vehicle moving in front of a brick wall. Using an interlaced imager, the moving vehicle will appear blurry against the solid wall background, making it difficult to identify the characteristics of the car or its occupants. With a progressive scan imager, on the other hand, both the freeze frame image of the moving vehicle and the wall behind it will appear in sharp relief.Selectable MPEG-4 / MJPEG CompressionThese encoding modes give you the ability to prioritize higher quality over lower compression or vice versa, depending on your particular application. This is a particularly important feature for Megapixel cameras where the large file sizes it generates can quickly overwhelm a network.2-Way AudioAttach a microphone and speaker of your choice to the back of the camera and you'll be able to hear and speak with a person at the camera location over the network.PoE (Power over Ethernet)With the addition of a PoE injector, you can power the camera via the same Ethernet cable used to communicate data to the camera. This makes it easy to install the camera near ceilings, in hallways, elevators, outdoors, and in similar areas with no direct access to a power outlet. |
