My Samsung SC-D353 Digital Camcorder has vertical lines on the lcd, I cannot get the menu or anything else on the screen

check with mains power if that works then battery stuffed

the connector between the LCD and internal parts of the camcorder is called RIBBON. based on what you said, you need to call Samsung hotline for repair of your camcorder

I work on this model of samsung the lcd problem is a common thing with this camera
The ribbon cable to the lcd from the camera cracks and causes what you are talking about .
Normally the camera will still work buy using the eye viewfinder for recording and playback but you will not hear the sound unless the lcd door is open but then the picture in the viewfinder goes away when this door is open and comes back when it is closed
my email is [email protected] and sell on ebay as uromastyx

The lcd ribbon cable is cracked and must be replaced
this is a common problem with this model I have fixed over 100

how to get the caset into a dvd or atleas in the computer

try cleaning cassette or the head needs aligned

Manufactured Oct 05, my Mini DV Camcorder SC D353 LCD screen went white with vertical colored lines when opened more than 1/4 of the way. I'm sure there had been less than 10 hours on it, so this is not a wear and tear issue. It's a component ill suited for the stress of a pivoting LCD screen.

After my internet research I've determined that the problem is a broken flexible lcd ribbon that cracks around the hinge / pivot joint.

After writing to Samsung USA and Samsung Canada, and getting the run around from them and service centers reparis and shipping exceeding the value of the camera and technicians telling me its not worth repairing, part prices ranging from $50 - $150, Samsung's finally referred me to the place, http://www.globalsemi.com/ .

I entered part number AD97-06489 and to my surprise found the part listed for $4.51, Canadian and located in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.

It is also found it here

So I'm going to pick up the part tomorrow and I'm going to try and do it myself. I think $4.51 is worth a try. Pray for me :) Cheers

PS Can anyone direct to the service manual?

the part is 40.. let me no if u need the part number. it is from turning the lcd around.. samsung did not engineer this properly

hi the ribbin in the lcd wears after a time it rubs on the side as you open the lcd a common fault i have just fix min £20 for new ribbin
