    Hey, just posting it worked for me too. Jason asked "Does this work for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70 as well?" Well I would be cautious. More amazing than the fact this fixed my white screen, it's amazing that so many people had the exact same issue & this fix worked. That indicates to me (as a dedicated hardware geek) this must be a slight manufacturing defect in this specific model. So I wouldn't necessarily expect it to work with other models, but it might. My best guess without taking mine apart (yet) is that there is a connector of some type that gets a little loose over time. The slight jar at the right angle is probably jostling that connection just enough to reseat it & make the contact work. I would also hazard a guess that if you send it in to Sony for repairs, they probably fix that defect for good. I won't be surprised if my camera has the problem happen again, and after enough bumps I expect it will eventually break for good. By then I'm this camera will already be near retirement; I've got a lot of good use out of it & can already replace it with a new model instead of paying the $110 to fix it.

    Hey Bob, thanks a lot!!! After getting a pre-packaged response from Sony this afternoon I decided to see if anybody else had this problem. Sure enough I stumbled across your page and had it fixed in a matter of seconds. I have forwarded this information to Sony and asked them to let me know if they think a recall is in order. Jim.

    Bob, Does this work for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70 as well? I unfortunately do not have the camera in front of me to test. When I touch the screen it makes sounds and reacts as if nothing were wrong, however the screen is white. It works and takes pictures though. Any assistance would be great! Jayson
