My Pentax Optio A10 turns on and functions perfectly except the screen is totally white. It lights up very bright but you cannot see anything. It will take a photo and again nothing shows up but it does take the photo as it registers on the memory card. Is this a "software" issue?

Hi,

Based on the information you've provided, it seems that the issue may be with the LCD screen of the Camera or with the CCD Image sensor. If the issue is with the image sensor, then you may be able to view the icons on the screen of the Camera. If the icons are not visible, the issue may be with the LCD screen. As the images are capturing normally in the Camera, it seems that the image sensor may also be fine. If the previous images are working fine, then you can get the Camera serviced to resolve the issue. Try power resetting the Camera before sending it for service. To power reset the Camera, turn off the camera.

Remove the battery pack.

Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.

Allow the camera to remain without power for 60 seconds.

Reinsert the battery pack.

Turn on the camera.

Thanks for contacting FixYa.

Lcd screen is black when in bright sunlight,so camera usless in this situation.The rest af the time appears ok! Any ideas which may solve this problem?

Do you mean that you can't see what's on the screen in bright sunlight? This is common on 90% of the point and shoot cameras. Only 10% have brightness controls for the lcd.

Replace LCD in Pentax Optio A10

You can buy a screen on eBay for about $25 shipped, and it will come with instructions. If you are handy, and good with small parts, this is an option. If you prefer to have someone else repair it, I will replace the screen for $40. You could also send it to Pentax in Arizona and they will replace the screen for about $90. You can contact me at: mrfixitmark at comcast dot net

Screen appears just white on my pentax optio a20 camera

You need a new LCD display.
I can replace the screen for $40, or you can buy the parts on eBay for about $25 and do it yourself if you are very handy, and very skilled with small delicate parts. You could send it to Pentax in Arizona, but they charge about $90 for an LCD replacement. If you just want to get rid of this camera, I also buy all Pentax Option a10, a20, a30, a40 cameras.

Ok here it is open the camera and re insert the fine lcd ribbon into is holder problem solved. Your camera must have had a sharp knock to dislodge the lcd screen and pulling out the ribbon. Worked for me.
