Hi all... this may be a big fat no but I thought I'd try you lot first.
Basically I'm pretty good with electronics so opening it up is not a problem ( in fact I've already done that )
It started when the missus dropped it while I was away and killed the screen. I left it a while and in the end got a second unit from Ebay for bits. The mechanics of it seemed dead but the screen seemed ok.
I split the two and placed the new screen in to my unit but alas nothing happened.
Since then I ordered a new screen from the US and duly stuck that in this week... no joy.... oh dear.
I noticed the back light not coming on either so swapped that ( long story but it ended up with my original one in by doing this - still nothing ).
The camera its self still seems functional as it fires away etc but the screen is dead....
So before the envitable which I dont want to as this cost me loads in when new and I hate been beaten more ) does any one have any advise, maintenance manuals or even experience ? I'm tempted to buy yet another off Ebay but I'm sat here thinking is it worth it especially as I think in my case it sounds like the screen controller may have gone ( if the 1st replacement was duff ) and as such a new mobo.....
TIA
