I was just about to buy a new camera, when I noticed that lots of people were having the same problem as I was - a white LCD screen. I initially thought your solution was a bit crazy and I was quite shocked to see that it actually worked! I just love this camera and am glad that I don't have to buy a new one! Thanks!!!!! :)

Well I never...my camera's LCD screen just went white yesterday and was browsing to see if i could fix it, and there you are Bob! Fantastic! Don't know if it'll last but it did the trick! Thank you xx

I found this post when I did a Google search for "DSCS40 white LCD screen". I am so grateful I found it! The fix worked for us, too. Thanks for posting. Clearly, you've provided a MUCH needed and appreciated service!

This fix is great. Thank you!!!

Dear Bob, Its amazing ! you saved us a lot of money ! It really worked.

oh my god that really worked! i've been trying to figure it out for 3 hours now. thank you so much! this is great!

Simply amazing. It worked on two Sony's that I had, both of which had the white screen problem. Sheer genius! Peggy

Your quick fix worked, but is it permanent? My camera has been in and out of a reputable camera repair store in Atlanta for the last year, but the white screen keeps returning. Bob, your fix worked, but do people report that they have to keep "fixing" it from time to time? Will the Great White Screen return? All the same, it's a great tactic for those times you're about to miss the Moment! BTW, you can still take snapshots (nothing fancy) the old fashioned way (use the viewfinder) when the Great White Screen visits.

Hey! I just called Sony and they said that they couldn't help me because the DSC-S40 wasn't on the list for defective/manufacturer's problems, and I mentioned that I see this problem all over when you google it on the net. But apparently not enough people have called in about it. To say, I'm not happy. I banged on the cybershot just like you said, except the white screen was back the next day. Has anyone been able to get their camera fixed and have sony pay for it even after warranty runs out? I have invested lots of $$$ into memory sticks and rechargeable batteries and don't want to buy another sony if this is how they are. Does this banging on the camera help only temporarily? Cause I have like 2 weddings to take pictures at and I'm not gonna be impressed if I have to continuously bang the camera. That's not really reliable. Anyone who has paid the $100 or so, have the problem again later after it's fixed? I'm going to go into the Sony Store and see if they can do anything, but I am not willing to pay to fix it, after having it for only a year. Cecilia email me with any info..... or solutions... I want to know if sony will cover it. Should I talk to someone at the sony store or go get it to one of sony's service places and make a big stink? lol...

you are a genious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was about to cry becasue it kept going white trying to find a way to fix it and it works. its AMAZING. thankyou SO SO much.
