Bob - I just found your advice after Googling in some despair as to what to do when my only-just-one-year-old Sony camera suddenly went blank and would only show a 'white' screen (yes... it's a DSC-S400... what a surprise!). When I read your description of the 'fix', I couldn't quite believe it. But then I saw all the replies you'd had from people who had fixed their camera this way - amazing! I'm intrigued to see that I'm not the only person with this problem - though now quite cross with Sony, who are evidently well aware of this 'defect' and haven't advertised how to fix it. Anyway, I tried your method just now: and of course it worked! I was just about to (very reluctantly) spend £150 on a replacement - but now I don't have to! - Many, many thanks Bob and family, for being so community-minded and sharing your knowledge and advice - best wishes to you all!
