It is possible to replace a cracked LCD screen.
The LCD screen of a camera flips out so the user can view what she is filming. LCD stands for liquid crystal display. These liquid crystals produce the digital image that is shown on the flip-out screen. If the LCD screen turns white, or if the image is flipped upside down, it needs repairs of some kind. Dropping the camera or getting the camera wet can account for these issues.
Instructions
1. Purchase a new LCD screen. Unhook the battery from the camcorder. Pull out the damaged LCD screen to expose the screws which hold it together.
2. Remove the screws from the LCD screen with the screwdriver. Flip the screen over to expose the opposing screws and remove them as well. Unscrew the screws surrounding the camera face itself.
3. Remove the back cover of the LCD screen with care so as not to rip out the connecting cords. Unhook all of the cords connecting the LCD screen to the camcorder, as well as the data label. The yellowish transparent data label sends information to the LCD screen itself.
4. Remove the bright blue circuit board from the camcorder to expose the panel of the LCD screen. Detach the damaged LCD screen and put it aside.
5. Place the new LCD screen where the old one was removed. Put the circuit board over the fresh screen. Attach the connecting cords as well as the data label. Position the back cover back on the LCD monitor. Screw the removed screws back in their original position. Turn on the camera to ensure the LCD was connected successfully.
