Here are some more information for Camera Repair:

The dawn of digital camera technology has undoubtedly offered limitless choices for professionals and neophytes alike to come about with the best possible photographic results. There is a wide array of camera options ranging from compact digital cameras to large DSLRs. Each type and class has its own strengths and limitations therefore making the task of shopping for cameras complicated. Nevertheless, it will still boil down to the type and specifications that each person is looking for.

            It is a common knowledge that digital cameras don't actually come cheap. With each digital camera, there will usually be an assortment of features and utility levels which will make a good camera well above a thousand dollars. Leading digital camera brands include Canon, Nikon and Sony.

            Probably the most essential parts of a digital camera are the lens, viewfinder and the LCD screen. These parts should be regularly cleaned and maintained. These sensitive components such as a Canon camera LCD screen should never be bumped or have a battery put against it inside the camera case. It is also important to invest in good quality lens cleaning equipment such as a good lens brush, a lens blower and lens cloth. A blower will help remove the dirt while a lens cleaning solution removes sticky particles on the lens. Another important reminder is to protect the cameras eyes by always putting on the lens cover when the camera is not in use.

            Another important aspect of taking care of your digital camera is storage. It is recommended that the camera be stored in a cool and dry space. Always keep the camera out of the sun and from cold temperature. Digital camera batteries should also be taken out when the camera is not in use. Remove the batteries if you intend to store the digital camera for a long time. Also keep in mind that magnets of any kind should also be kept away from the camera. This is for the reason that a magnet may affect the circuitry of the camera.

            Aside from the structure of the digital camera, camera accessories such as memory cards should also be taken into account. As these accessories are small, they should always be handled with utmost care. It should not be taken out while in the process of transferring images from the camera. It should be stored appropriately to prevent misplacement and ensure safety.

            Taking care of your most prized digital camera is imperative to make certain that they will last for a very long time. Even if you purchase the most expensive brand, there is still no guarantee that your digital will overcome the wear and tear of the years of usage. As much as possible, you need to protect it from abuse and neglect. When you notice any damage or malfunction to any part such as the LCD then it is important to find someone who can affordably provide you Canon LCD screen repair services. Remember that your camera costs a lot of money and it certainly pays to take good care of it.

Top Digital Camera Repair Problem - Broken LCD Screen

We live in a throw-away society, it's a simple fact. You buy that brand new fancy digital camera with all the bells and whistles for $400, and in 6 months to 1 year it's worth maybe half that, and then the unthinkable happens: you drop it and it breaks. The LCD is cracked, or the lens is jammed; what do you do? You head back to the store with your poor little camera and the guy behind the counter (that knows nothing about cameras except for what's written on the box, and even less about camera repair) tells you it's not worth it to fix it and you should toss it in the trash. You feel ripped off and mad at the camera manufacturer and you toss it out and buy a new one made by somebody else.

There are alternatives available! You don't have to toss out that camera, you can repair it yourself, send it in for repair, or sell it for parts to somebody else online.

If you want to repair it or get it repaired, I have some advice for you about what I believe is the #1 digital camera repair problem: broken LCD screens.

It was hard for me to choose between broken LCD screens and broken lenses, but I stuck with LCD for #1 because it's so easy to break your LCD that you don't even have to touch the camera to do it!

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the view screen on the back of the camera that lets you see menus, playback pictures etc. The LCD is very thin, very fragile, and on many many cameras completely UNPROTECTED! Look at the back of your camera, is the screen recessed slightly or is the back of the camera flat and smooth? If it's flat you have a protective 'window' or 'glass' over the LCD to help prevent damage and breakage. If it's not flat, you have nothing protecting your LCD and should put a good quality LCD screen protector on the camera and NOT those thin, flimsy 'saran wrap' plastic film screen protectors, they are worthless.

- Don't leave your camera in your car in summer or winter. Extreme heat can cause expansion of the liquid in the LCD and cause it to 'crack', and on the other side of things extreme cold can cause it to freeze

- Don't put anything up against the LCD in your camera bag, it will bang against the LCD and crack it (yes, even if it has a window over it, it will break!)

- Don't put your camera in your back pocket and then sit down!

- Don't put your camera in your front pocket and then roll over on it.

- ... Just don't put your camera in your pants pocket please. =)

Ok, so it's broken, what do you do now?

- The manufacturer will just site impact damage and will refuse the repair even if the camera wasn't dropped etc. You can try, and I wish you luck, but they probably won't fix it.

- Look for a defective camera on e***y (hey they don't pay me to advertise for them...) and make one good camera from the two if you are handy.

- Look for an actual camera repair business and not somebody that will send it to the manufacturer and tell you it's $200 and 4-6 weeks to repair. (IF they tell you this, they are NOT repairing your camera for you, they are sending it to the manufacturer, guaranteed)

Many LCD screens are very easy to install and you can do it yourself and all you need is a small screwdriver. Other LCD's are very difficult to install, and even professionals don't like to do them! I can't tell you Brand .... is the best and Brand ... is the worst, it's really not like that. Certain SERIES of cameras have 1 or 2 models that are difficult to work on, yet the rest of them are fairly straight forward. You need to decide for yourself if you want to open your camera and try the repair yourself or not.

How is an LCD replaced?
With most Canon digital camera LCD screens for example (using them as the example because they have the largest market share) all you do is disconnect the ribbon cable for the LCD and the backlight (the light that shines through the LCD and allows you to see what is on the screen) and then install the new LCD. Some come with the backlight attached, some do not. Some backlights need to be soldered to the mainboard of the camera, some do not.

- Be careful to not touch the flash capacitor contacts! You WILL zap yourself if you do, and it will HURT a bit. You will probably throw your camera across the room when it happens. (Yeah, I've done it, I've been repairing cameras for 5 years now so....) We have 'flash capacitor dischargers' and use them every time we open a camera.

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