Some
symptoms of a defective CCD
(Charge Coupled Device) include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines,
blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being
recorded on the camera's flash card.
When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light
coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of
tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The
number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated
charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step
occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an
analog-to-digital converter.
In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details: Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.
The Malfunction:
Among
the CCDs used in the affected products listed above, it has been
confirmed that, especially under high-temperature/high-humidity
environments, the internal wiring may come undone in some places.
If
this defect occurs, the signal is not output from the CCD correctly
when in shooting mode, which results in symptoms like the following in
captured images. These symptoms can be confirmed on the LCD monitor. The
same symptoms may also occur in recorded images.
* images do not appear
* images appear distorted
