Hi Austin: With regards to my Sony DSC-S40 white/blank LCD screen "Quick Fix": Well, believe it or not, I don't advocate anyone physically abusing their digital camera working or not. One should use restraint when using the "Quick Fix". A smart rap from ones knuckles will do the trick. One responder recently reported using a single finger on the Cybershot logo and it fixed it. No, he didn't tell us which finger....:-) There is some sort of physical internal defect in the Sony DSC-S40 that unexpectedly crops up. My personal favorite Sony Customer Service horror story is the original post I found when I Gooled for the problem with my own camera. A fellow posted that right out of the box his screen was blank. It took Sony months to replace an obviously defective camera according to him. Funny thing is, that the Sony Service Rep I spoke with acknowledged that Sony is aware of this issue! I certainly don't know what causes this phenomena to suddenly cause the LCD to white/blank out, I only know my "Quick Fix" works! And you can't beat the price. Thank you for taking the time to respond back. Regards, Bob The Allens of Allentown, PA USA
