Screen lines there are vertical light lines on camera screen

Unless you have a circuit diagram and have electronic knowledge the it is best left to an expert camera repair specialist.
The costs? Your guess is as good as mine. Camera repairers may charge a quote for repairing unless you go ahead with the repair.

restart your camera by taking out the battery or clear the lens or the screen by dry cloth...restarting the camera will definitely solve your problem

If the screen is covered with vertical lines, you have a cracked screen.

They are normal.

Thus meaning what display on the LCD is exactly what "enters" through the lens. Is this a hairline or thick line appearing on the LCD and does the same happen on the photos/pictures when they are downloaded on a PC? If so "something" could have infiltrated into/onto the camera lens....

It sounds like you need a new screen.

Buy one on Ebay for 20 Euro (inclusive of postage)

youtube.com has great videos of how to change a screen.
You will need a tweezers and very small "philips" (cross/plus head) screwdriver.
Make sure the screwdriver has magnets....so that you dont lose some screws....they are tiny.

If you buy a replacement "LCD Screen Display" on Ebay then usually all the tools you need are included. (I just checked).


I also have just replaced my screen....screen was damaged...LCD leaked and lots of vertical lines on a now only WHITE screen.
Camera works fine now.

Check to see if the camera is still working.
Try taking some pictures....and then put the SD-card into your computer to see if the pictures are being taken.

Hi,
It is failure of ccd imager chip in your Sony DSC-T1 camera and Sony will repair it free of cost.
Click Sony CCD Imager Support for details.

put the camera in the hearse and take to cemetery and then go buy a new one , you cant take all the money you made with you.

Recording a movie of a subject that is brightly lit by the sun or some other very bright light source can cause vertical lines or bars to appear in the image during playback. This is due to a CCD phenomenon called "smearing." Note that lines or bars appear in movie images only, but not in snapshots. Smearing does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

Current LCD display technology can reproduce about 300 different levels of brightness. Brightly lit scenes or light sources may exceed this brightness range, causing a temporary disruption (artifacts) in the live display. Artifacts are part of the display, but they are not part of your recorded image. If you take a picture while you see artifacts on the screen and then display the picture on the LCD, you will no longer see the artifacts.
