Damaged LCD t77

Perhaps you just try to contact Pentax for this? But I think if you could buy a LCD screen, it will cost you more than a brand new camera, with better specs than your Optio M20.
So perhaps you start saving for a new camera?

I don't believe admonishing someone, for their selection of place where they bought a part, is considered a solution.

[Not sticking up for Ebay, or the sellers, but you wouldn't believe the number of computer parts I have purchased, and with only one bad deal. {Money returned, however}

Therefore I offer the following solution;

DIAGNOSE

1) Let's start with the basics, j_patterson9

Primer:

An LCD screen cannot produce light by itself. It needs an additional light source.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight can be a CCFL or a series of LED lights.

The Samsung R519 series of Notebook PC's can come with either one. Just depends on what option was chosen.

(Read the above all the way down)

Now,....which version was your old LCD screen?
Which version is the replacement LCD screen?
They will NOT interchange.

Also,...an LCD screen, and a screen Inverter are a MATCHED unit.

A CCFL is a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.
Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale;

Average Width of the lamp (Bulb) is 2mm. That is a little larger than 1/16th of an Inch.
Average Length is almost as tall as the LCD screen.

Just so you can see an average CCFL used for a Backlight,

A screen Inverter is used to convert the power from the laptop, for the Backlight, and LCD screen.

The thin plastic frame in front of the LCD screen, is the Display Bezel.

(Also may be referred to as LCD Bezel, Display Panel Bezel, and I'm sure a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. It's up to the individual laptop manufacturer as to the name )

Right behind this plastic picture frame looking object, (Display Bezel), and mounted towards the bottom of the LCD screen, is the Inverter.
(screen Inverter)

This small circuit board could have received damage also.
ESPECIALLY if the video cable was damaged.

Just an example of the screen Inverter,

1) LCD screen:
On the back of the LCD screen (Old one) is the manufacturer code.
THIS is matched up to the replacement LCD screen, to know you are purchasing the correct replacement.

If the entity does NOT have this information available, move on to another entity.

2) Video Cable. (Also known as Display Panel Cable, Display Cable, etc)

Test it.
Use a multimeter set to Ohms, and perform a continuity test of each wire in the cable.
This way you can test to see if any wires are stretched, and/or broken.

If you do not own a multimeter, or do not have access to one, may I suggest purchasing an economical version?
Average cost is around $8 to $12, and available at a multitude of stores.
An auto parts store is but one example.

Need to know how to use it to perform this test? Simply state so in a Comment, after you purchase it.

Tips:
A) Although a video cable MAY look to be fully connected on the back of an LCD screen, all it takes is a very minute (My-Noot), loose connection, and you have your problem you stated.

Re-verify the video cable is completely and fully connected to the back of the LCD screen.
It would also be wise, of course, to recheck the motherboard side connection of the cable.

3) screen Inverter:
To test a screen Inverter requires a sensitive multimeter. Read, fairly expensive,

Without the proper equipment to test the screen Inverter, most consumers just replace it. (Low cost, and ease of accessibility to replace, is also a contributing factor)

What do I see just off the top, J?
The wrong LCD screen, and/or possible damage to the screen Inverter.

However it is up to you to Diagnose, and tell me.

Awaiting your reply.

The LCD is damaged and there is no other option but to replace the LCD screen.
If there is no picture at all it is fully damaged but if a portion of the screen shows a picture then the part of the LCD is damaged.
Please check the cost of replacement before you go for changing as it must be worth the cost.

Hi, where can I get the latest FW (firmware) for my Hyundai Digital Camera A9325?
Any usable download link or. web page?
Many thanks,

I have used clear plastic sheets and silicon tire dressing for smaller problems like this, but no idea how well it would work with a large screen TV. The westleys silicon tire shine smooths out the scratches, and you place the clear plastic sheet on top of that and work out any bubbles then tape the ends. It pretty much changes a standard screen into a glossy screen with the added benefit that you can always replace the sheet if it is damaged.
I usually get my clear plastic sheets packaged with the new LCD screens I purchase for repairs and I just keep them in storage.

If you need a replacement, you can buy from here: http://www.ownta.com/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-t77-digital-camera-repairing-lcd-display-screen-replacement.html

Contact Compaq here:

I have a Logitech 880 with a similar issue with the LCD and unless you have excellent micro/mini soldering skills, I would recommend looking for a replacement. As an alternative, you may be able to file a claim on your home insurance if your deductible is low enough to cover the replacement/repair of your remote.

send your camera in to fuji's repair center, and they can replace the screen

yes. if you are able to precure the lcd , the changing is not big job.
