The LCD screen on my Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P10 went dark, can I fix it?

I dropped my camera and the LCD screen went dark, cannot even see to adjust things on the menu. Is there anything I can do?

If you shine a flashlight on it, can you see anything?

This means that the backlight or backlight driver is bad. The backlight is a very small florescent tube.

I found a used display on ebay. Sony DSC-P10 LCD Digital Camera Repair Part - eBay (item 320394516879 end time Oct-04-09 06:56:49 PDT)

The display is No longer available as new from Sony.

I found a DSC-P10 service manual here: http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.p...service-repair

LCD screens are about $120 new.

The service manual may be: Encompass Parts Distribution

Here is what's involved in replacing a display, although it's not your camera.

Thanks alot, I appreciate it. Somebody dropped my old camera so I ordered this one off of e-bay and it came like brand new in the box. I dropped it the first time I tried to use it for my own e-bay stuff! Very frustrating!
