Ideally it is best to approach the Olympus dealer close to you as the spare is not available elsewhere and hence the price cannot be estimated.

The only option is to take sample photo's and put it on photographic paper to prove your point and take it to the Olympus agent to show him the problem, "take few photo's" the problem you are describing is in the focus mechanism of the lens itself, caused by a bad motor or gear linkage.

The camera needs batteries. I had the same problem and found that the new panasonic batteries I bought were no good..... I used duracell and the camera was fine once again

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Walmart have incorrectly informed you. You have dirt or damage on your ccd sensor and it is not possible to clean it without dismantling the camera. The fact that you believed walmart leads me to believe that you are very gullible.How old are you? Take it back to them, tell them it has not been right since you bought it and ask them to replace it.
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

I would ask olympus about this. They don't seem to have anything on leaking lcd's in the FAQ page.

Use a separate card reader instead of the camera. Works every time.

This usually means the batteries are almost dead. If rechargeable types, they can no longer hold a charge. If the batteries are fresh, try another set newly purchased.

First you need to get the button out. But if it is defect (I think it is) that won't help. Did you try to find out what is keeping the button in the depressed position? is it possible there is some dirt around the knob? Something you can remove?I don't think it is worth bringing it to a service center.If they need one hour to repair it will cost twice a new camera of that class.So when you can't get the know out, I think you should start saving up for a new camera.

Could it be you changed something in the settings? Can you see the scene in a normal way before shooting? then it look to me the sensor an the camera have to be good. It is to much to tell you how, because you have to look that up in the manual, but, please try to set the camera in auto mode, because is you did set to in the scene mode, and than chose blurry background, or shooting through glass that could cause the distortion. I put the link for the manual down here, in case you can't find yours. Start at page 6 to see how to shoot in automatic. Be aware if you shoot ready shot (anti shake) on a tripodthe pictures will be blurred to. http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/FE-320_X-835_C-540_FE-340_X-855_C-560_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf
