GOD I HATE WELLS THEY CAN CAUSE SUCH PROBLEMS, I HAVE ONE MYSELF. A HIGH BACTERIAL READING COULD MEAN A LOT OF THINGS DID THE SAY WHAT KIND OF BACTERIA THEY FOUND. GROUND WATER HAS A CERTIAN AMOUNT OF BACTERIA ANYWAY. MY WELL HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 18 YEARS NOW AND I'VE CLORINATED THE WELL EVERY 5 YEARS AND IT STILL READS THE SAME. THE ONLY THING I HAVE DONE IS PUT IN TWO FILTERS WHERE IT EXITS THE EXSPANTION TANK THE FIRST ONE IS FOR SEDIMENT AND THE SECOND IS A CHARCOAL FILTER FOR TASTE AND BACTERIA. AS FOR THE TREATMENT OF YOUR WELL IF YOU CLOINATE YOU MUST FILL YOU WELL WITH WATER TO THE TOP OF YOUR PIPE THIS WILL PUSH THE CLORINATION INTO THE CRACKS AND ALL AREAS TO CLEAN THEM. DON'T KNOW NWHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU. A WELL COMPANY COSTS AN ARM AND A LEG

More than likely those are bits of plastic from the new piping. Take the strainers off and flush the lines to get the remaining material out, clean the screens and aerators and reinstall them, then have the water tested again. If it comes back high in bacteria again, call your well driller.

Black screen

Assumed that LCD screen is black and what about Eye piece viewfinder? Does it show picture to you?
If LCD Screen is black, it means it has no back-light. check any button to turn back light on & off at LCD portion.
There can be an other reason of black LCD. a flexible cable which connects LCD and Camera circuits and it can be broken/ cracked/ out of order.

My Sharp LCD 26" TV shows most black and shadow colours as vivid blue, I have tried resetting the colour to factory reset but that didn't seem to help at all. It occurs on all channels and on 3...

the problem with LCD tvs are that they have back lamps that shine thru the LCD sceen. the job of the screen is to block the light of the different colors to make the picture. the problem is that the very thin screen can not block all the light. if the set has a back lamp setting turn down the back lamps and adjust the brightness control it should help a little. you my notice that the blacks and dark sceens look better when the room is fully lit and look much worse in a darken room.

Shuts off when you touch the touch screen!

Im guessing that your replacement screen is metal backed (the original had a poly-foam backing for a reason) ,,,, when you tap lightly it works, when you press hard your pressing the metal back of the screen onto the mini-board behind it and shorting it out

If you keep doing this you will damage the mini-board, take it back out and cover the metal back with sellotape or masking tape making sure to cover the whole metal back, (dont go up the sides or its impossible to get back into the cover).

Re-assemble as before and if it isnt too late for this you will have a working DS again.

Hope this isnt too late
