Repair Cameras

We live in a throwaway society, is a simple fact. Digital camera buying that new brand of luxury with all the bells and whistles for $ 400, and in 6 months to 1 year worth perhaps half, and then the unthinkable happens: you drop and break. The LCD screen is cracked, or the lens is stuck, what do you do? You head to back to the shop with your camera and the poor man behind the counter (who knows nothing about cameras except what is written on the box, let alone repair of the camera) tells you not fix it worthwhile and should throw away. You feel cheated and angry with the manufacturer of the camera and pull out and buy a new one made by another person.

Alternatives are available! You do not have to pull the camera, you can repair yourself, send it to repair, or someone selling parts online.

If you want to repair or fix it, I have some advice for you about what I think is the # 1 issue of repairs Digital Camera: Broken LCD screens.

It was hard for me to choose between broken LCD screens and glasses broken, but I stuck with LCD # 1 because it is easy broken LCD screen that does not even have to touch the camera to do it!

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the view screen on the back camera that allows you to view menus, pictures of reproduction, etc. The LCD is very thin, very fragile, and many many cameras completely unprotected! Look at the back of the camera is slightly recessed screen or is the back of the camera flat and smooth? If the floor has a window of protection "or" crystal in the LCD screen to help prevent damage and breakage. If it is not flat, you have nothing to protect your LCD screen and should make a good quality protector LCD screen of the camera and not the thin, flimsy plastic protectors "saran wrap screen ', are worthless.

– Do not leave the camera in the car in summer or winter. Extreme heat can cause expansion of the liquid on the screen and make it crack, and on the other side of things cold end may cause it to freeze

– Do not put anything against the LCD screen on your camera bag, it will strike against the LCD and crack (yes, even if you have a window on it, it breaks!)

– Do not place the camera in the back pocket and then sit down!

– Do not place the camera in your pocket front and then move the cursor over it.

– … Just do not put your camera in the pocket of your pants please. =)

Ok, so it does not work, What to do now?

– The manufacturer only impact damage site and refuse to repair even if the camera did not retire, etc. You may try, and I wish him luck, but that probably will not fix it.

– Find a faulty camera and *** and (hey do not pay me to advertise for them …) and make a good camera of the two if they are useful.

– Find a real business of repairing cameras and not one who will send it to the manufacturer and tell that is $ 200 and 4-6 weeks for repair. (If I say this, are NOT repair your camera for you, which is sent to the manufacturer's guarantee)

Many LCD screens are very easy to install and can do it yourself and all you need is a small screwdriver. Other LCD are very difficult to install, and even professionals do not like! I can not say that the mark …. is the best and make … is the worst, actually not. Some series of cameras have 1 or 2 modules that are difficult to work, however, the rest of them are fairly straightforward. You need to decide for itself whether to open the camera and try the repair yourself or not.

How do you replace an LCD?
Canon Digital Camera With most LCDs, for example (using as an example because they have the greatest market share), all they do is disconnect the ribbon cable for the LCD and the backlight (the light shining through the screen and lets you see what's on the screen) and then install the new LCD monitor. Some come with the backlight attached, some not. Some backlight need to solder to the board of the chamber, some no.

– Be careful not to touch the contacts of the flash capacitor! You WILL Zap it if it does, and will hurt a bit. Is likely to pull the camera through the room when it happens. (Yes, I've done, I have been repairing cameras for 5 years now so ….) We have 'flash condensate drain' and every time we use a camera.

I hope this helps you get your digital camera repaired and saves you time and money in the process!
