phil voyageur - Feb 11, 2017

thank for this tuto… my screen is dark , so I use it to see if it was a problem of bad contact.. unfortunatly not !…

I just had somes difficulties to understand how to rebuild the screen ( the screen axle in the empty plastic casing first and then, the screem in the plastic casing, all on a table to have our 2 hands to reconnect the connector ribbon…

thank you

Thank you for this tutorial. I dropped my camera and the screen cracked. I bought a screen from a vendor on eBay. [|The screen needed another ZIF connector to disconnect and connect, which is not shown in this titorial. But I figured that out.]

Is this screen used in any other device where the price for ‘that device’ is a lot less than this FZ1000 screen? I can’t wrap my head around why a replacement LCD is so expensive. Even without backlight. And the display board is $150+ Just robbery.
