I just fixed two cameras per your advice, (kinda like an old tube tv fix!) mine and my daughters. Unfortunately, she had already bought a new nikon to replace hers, so now i have two!!! Wished i hadn't waited so long to google. Thanks Bob - Bill, louisa, va,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! It works.. Hold in left hand and hit it with the right hand. I had been on the telephone with Sony and that is what they wanted to fix the problem.. $111.00 I like your solution better.. I even took my to a repair shop and they said as long as the picture were good when printed forget.. I don't do business there anymore either... Thanks again

Thanks, what a genius, Sony UK wanted to charge £114 to look at it!

I was actually online shopping for a replacement camera when I found your message. My camera went white while on vacation and I missed out on alot of photo opportunities. I love this camera and the photos it takes. I didn't really want another one. Thanks Bob!

OMG! thank you so much! I cant believe that actually worked!

I was about to send it off to Sony for repair, thought i'd google the problem and found your post. Worked a treat, thanks. Interesting that all this model had the same fault at the same time of year?

Eric, I'm having the same white screen issues with my Sony DSC S40. Can I get a copy of the instructions as well. Thanks

YEAH! You're awesome...it WORKED! I have actually sent it in to be "fixed" and it worked for a short while and now I got the white screen, again. I tapped and it worked! Thanks

Oh my goodness, It worked the first time I tried it, thanks so so much for the free suggestion and God Bless.

I am so grateful with you Bob.I am lucky to find this discussion forum.I had the same trouble, expensive to repair here. My cybershot is working again.Now you are worlwide famous.I live in Lima,Peru (South America) and will tell everybody here :) Thanks again. Milu
