If you are in the UK, you can get a replacement LCD screen for this camera from the following company: Spare parts or replacement accessories (as originally supplied with the product) can be purchased from: SEME Limited Hudson Road Melton Mowbray Leicestershire LE13 1BS Telephone: 0870 240 6354 Fax: 01664 563 976 email: sony@seme.co.uk I contacted them last week (i.e. in the first week of December 2005) and they quoted me 44.30GBP delivered. However this is only the screen itself and they have advised me that no fitting instructions are included. I am of a mind to get the screen and then pay someone who knows what they're doing to perform the replacement. hope this info helps someone, regards.
