THANK YOU WHOLE BIG BUNCHES MR. ALLEN! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I just posted to another forum that had a different Sony Digital Model doing same problems. I posted my model to see if anyone else had a similar problem. THEN I happened on your posting "and remedy"! IT WORKED ...MY CAMERA IS WORKING! Gift from Hubby...only had 1yr + 4mon...screen was going bizzard with lines and void of colors..yet pictures turned out. Yesterday screen went totally white. NOW IT WORKS! WAY COOL! THANK YOU ...THANK YOU...AND I DO THANK THE LORD TOO that I didn't have to send it to SONY! GOD BLESS! YOU PROBABLY HAVE NO IDEA AS TO PERHAPS THE THOUSANDS OF FRUSTRATED SHUTTERBUGS HE JUST USED YOU TO HELP. MAY HE BLESS YOU BACK A HUNDRED-FOLD AND IN A UNIQUE WAY!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for posting this! My LCD starting going wonky last October so I initiated the Sony repair process because I was still in warranty at the time. Then of course the camera started working and I didn't want to send it in that way because I knew they would tell me there was nothing wrong with it, and I'd have been without my camera for weeks. It worked fine for a couple weeks then started giving me trouble again. I noticed that a good smack with my hand solved the problem, so I used that fix for a while. I tried to use my camera yesterday and the screen was totally white and my "known fix" didn't work. I got online with Sony support and they were worthless. LOL. They told me to reset the camera. I said "how?". They said "Turn it on and go into the menu..." I had to remind them that since I was complaining about the LCD being dead, looking at the menu was going to be pretty hard. Ugh. I wrote them to see if they'd honor my original repair request from when it was in warranty and I'll see what they have to say. In the meantime I continued searching for a fix and found this, and of course, IT WORKED!! Thanks so much!

Dude, You are cool, MAN!!! You are the BREEZE! ... The Internet totally rulz an stuff and its because the descendent's of the Fonz like you just share info like that. Rock on!

Ha! I thought it was something like that that caused the camera to quit working in the first place...little did I know it was actually the solution! Thanks, Bob!

Bob, I am truly happy to found this forum and most importantly - your quik fix! i've had this camera for over 2 years now and sad that this would be the end. the shop asked me to buy a new camera instead, i mean no offence to the new cameras but this S40 has gone thru hell with me man. just gotta luv~ it. in simple words, thanks so much Bob.
