This camera has one of those rotating displays so you can see it from the
front of the camera. The display was working fine, then just died. No
light at all. I tried the flashlight test to see if it was just the
backlight, but there\'s nothing visible. However, the camera seems to boot
up, and if I connect an HDMI cable, I get video. So apparently the camera
is still working ok except for the LCD display.
I found a couple disassembly videos on Youtube, and thought I would take it
apart to see if perhaps a ribbon cable has come loose, or if the switch
that tells the camera that the display door is open isn\'t working. But
before undertaking that, I wanted to see if anyone here has a suggestion
for a simpler solution. I guess the problem could also be in the pivot
connections, but if that\'s the case there\'s nothing I could fix there.
