  Hi Bob. I don't know who you are but I googled my camera problem and found your answer for the white screen. THANK YOU!! I don't know how you figured it out but I'm sure glad you took the time to post it. One rap and we're all good. My camera wasn't working this morning and you can bet I was looking around at these kids (all six of them) to figure out who dropped the camera, busted it and didn't want to 'fess up! wow -- we are so happy to find a FREE fix!! Thank you, thank you thank you. Allison & kids

    Hi Allison: You're certainly Welcome! I'm basically nobody, just had a non-functioning Sony DSC-S40 and couldn't get any satisfactory assistance from Sony. I discovered this fix after looking at the info from Eric and thinking about what might be going on inside the camera. I posted the fix hoping to save folks some money. I didn't have a spare $111.00 for the Sony repair service fee. Happy picture taking of the Bonner kids! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Bob The Allen's of Allentown, PA USA

  I'm so glad that I found this message board--I had no idea that so many people had the same white screen problem as I do! I sent the camera to Sony and it was repaired under warranty and sent back. Now the year-long warranty is up and I have experienced the white screen problem AGAIN, even after I sent it in to be fixed. I'm pretty annoyed with Sony. This white screen problem happened at the most inopportune time--at the hospital when my first daughter was born. That was the whole reason why we bought the camera in the first place--to take pictures of her from birth onward. That was the first time the screen went white and I didn't realize that you could still take pictures, just not use the LCD. I was DEVASTATED. Here was a moment that would never happen again and our camera was not working properly. Thankfully my dad brought his camera to the hospital and we have pictures, but what a huge disappointment in that Sony camera! One thing is for sure, I will never buy a Sony camera again. However, thank you so much for the quick-fix advice. When that nasty white screen shows up again--as it inevitably will--I will know what to do about it.

  now what do you know about that. My daughter wanted a new camera for christmas since her dsc-s40 lcd went white. I smacked the cyber logo and, voila, it worked! Now i have to think of another present, or wrap this one up and give it again! Just kidding... Thanks.

  Bob,
  
  YOU ROCK!! I'm actually in a "help chat" with a Sony rep as I type this, and after two (pathetic) attempts, I was told that my camera needed to be serviced. I found your solution by googling my issue, and voi la! I can see color now! YAY! And just in time for Christmas!

  Bob-
  
  I have to tell you...when I read your fix, I laughed. However, I had no plans on shelling out the $111 it was going to cost to send it to Sony so I figured I'd try it. My husband and I are now laughing because we are happy that our camera WORKS!
  
  Thanks so much for posting your fix. And thanks to the good people at Google for letting me find it.
