April 15th, 2012
oh dear, ok so this past week I let my friend use my camera for this video thing they were doing for school(that was my first mistake). mid way though class i got a text from her saying that there was a green spot on my camera. panicked i met up with her in the hallway.
so the problem was, that the camera's screen was totally blue-green. it didnt matter if it was in playback mode or menu, the screen would stay the same colour.
i tried charging the batteries and hooking it up to the computer but nothing seems to be working. everytime i turn it on the same thing happens.
has this happened to anyone elce before ?? if so how did you fix it ? please comment and share !!!

I think they broke it.

It doesn't sound promising. The symptoms you describe make it sound like either the camera was dropped or it got wet.

yep would have to agree, sounds like the lcd has failed, think it can sometimes be repaired tho, depends on how old it is.

While I am not the technical expert @gurry is, I would have to agree. :)

Does it take pictures that end up being ok still? Is everything just a green tinge or is it a blank green screen that you can't see anything on? If so, then you can still continue using it for a while until you find a replacement... Sounds like that's it for it though :(

@edditingmyworld I say you give it back to them and see if it magically starts working again, just as it magically broke.
