I'm having problems with my HP Photosmart M307 Digital Camera. I can't see anything in the screen on back. All that's there is A black and white screen; it's hard to explain. But it won't go away, no matter what I do. How do I fix it, if I can?
I can't see my menu, the stupid black and white thing has taken over the screen. I can't access any menus or even see the photo I'm taking without the viewfinder.I can't see my menu, the stupid black and white thing has taken over the screen.

The view finder is the little window on the top left of the camera. If you want to use the display as a view finder, you have to press the button with the camera logo. It is called the life view mode. you use the same button to switch off the display. Be aware using the display, will drain the batteries quicker. Somewhat faster then with modern cameras.
see page 19 of the manual.
Sorry, If your viewfinders lens is defective or lost, I'm afraid even HP does not have any spare parts after almost 10 years. Better try to buy a N307 on eBay, for a few dollar and use the lens from that one.
If you are able to see it the icons of menu it means that shutter of the lens block is permanently close and it is problem of the lens block.If you cant to see icons and all LCD is black it means there is LCD problems.If this is problem of the LCD you can try to take out the covers and disconnect and connect LCD cable again to the main board.If it is not help maybe it will be best to buy new camera as repair M307 in the service center will not be economicaly effective.
you can find part on Ebay under cameras for parts or repairs. Look r717, but also look into m305, m307, m407, and m417 cameras. They all use the display screen.
A very common problem with many Digital cameras. It sounds as if you are suffering from either a CCD problem or a video board problem. Impossible to tell without it being on the bench to check.
You could dismantle it and check there's nothing adrift such as flat ribbon cables in their sockets or loose plugs and sockets between the printed circuit boards.
Watch out for the flash unit it can give you a nasty shock if it's charged.
Most cameras seem to built to last as long as the warranty and then die. This keeps you coming back for more. At least you were lucky to get 2 years out of yours before it passed on.
