YESSSSSSSSSSS It works, I scheduled to take in for repair this afternoon. One tap and I was ready to go. Thank you so much.

Wow - worked for my too! On the first "rap" none the less. I was already pricing new cameras when I decided to see what I could dig up via Google. Bravo!!

Hi, It was a wonderfull solution. Thanks so much!!!

I am totally amazed and impressed by the original post!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would think this would be the solution to an obvious problem? IT WORKED, AMAZING. I am grateful! I wish I would have read this before buying a new camera. Oh well I guess we have a spare now. Your the greatest. Mike

OH MY GOD!!! I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THIS THING. Took good care of my camera for years and suddenly this white screen. I was very upset. I wanted a new camera. But I searched the net and found this. Just amazing. Gave it 2 knocks and done. It worked!!! THanks Bob,from Aruba.

I am so grateful to have found your 'fix' when I googled my 'white screen' problem on my Sony DSC-W80. I still can't believe it worked! Better than that, it was free! Too bad I missed out on capturing video clips of my daughter's first fieldtrip today. Luckily I had my Canon DSLR (Rebel XTi) as backup and was able to capture those memories through photos. Thanks again for your help!

This fix really worked ! I could not believe it !!! People in the repair-shop told me that the screen is white due to electronics failure and that the repair would cost 40 EUR. Bastards !!! ;) Thanks for sharing ! Regards, Ivan

You made another person happy. It worked!!! A friend at work came ask for help since I'm one of the helpdesk guys here. Did a search in Google, and your posting came up. He tried it a few times, and dented it a little. He was hitting it too hard. LOL!! After a few more times it worked. Thanks again!!!

Hi Bob, The massage has worked for my camera as well. Thanks, so much! Laszlo

You rock buddy!!! The rap in front of the camera with knuckles didn't work but I tapped it on the front logo instead... and it started working.... Great!!! I'm so greatuful!!!
