This video is great, thank you. I had a Sony DSC WX-350 that the LCD screen broke on and replacements were used at $165 and new near the $300 range. After watching this video I purchased the LCD screen on ebay for $24 and my camera now works.
I am so happy that I could repair my favorite camera with the help of your video. I was so sad that the screen broke through a fall. Although I have no technical knowledge, with your help I learned a lot. And it was a peace of cake thanks to your clear and detailed video to get it working again. Especially with the close-ups you made. Thank you so much for taking time to make this video!
Thanks for this well produced video. I particularly appreciated the close up shots when seating the cables. You have saved me a significant amount of money and time to repair my camera.
Thankyou very, very much for making this video. I encountered this problem halfway through a world-trip and was not able to return my camera to the country of manufacture for warranty repairs. Your video gave me the idea to order just a screen online and also showed me how to replace it, and meant that I only went without a camera for a week and had it repaired on the day I went to visit the Rocky Mountains. I'm sincerely grateful.
Non dovevo sostituire lo schermo lcd, ma semplicemente rimuovere della sabbia finissima interposta tra schermo e vetro protettivo. Operazione riuscita perfettamente! Grazie David!
So cool, it worked perfectly! I bought a New display ( was described for cybershot hx300/Nikon coolpixs8200. Seems to be the same display as for the hx50v). Paid 12dollar (OK, and 13 Dollar shipping...) and have now a Working camera again. THX for the instructions!!!
Thanks for the tutorial, the only mistake I made was 4:28. I was going from memory, took the cage off and the top with ribbon bit came off with it and I just ended CA glueing the bezel to the new screen. If it comes off I can just reglue proper beats having a very much busted screen.
Thanks so much for your clear demonstration and tips. For less than $18 AUD I know have my camera back in working condition if not with a scratch or to on the Sony face plate, and unfortunately the LCD replacement had a visible fault which once powered shows a yellow horizontal line. Back to the vendor, but the diagnosis is positive.
5:15 Very helpful tutorial! How to know if the backlight is still good? The broken LCD screen of my DSC-HX50V only shows some black and white light. Taking photos works and I can transfer the photos to the PC. Where to order this screen, a friend told me not to order it from any Chinese company, they take the money and tell you that they send the screen in three months but actually will never send the product.
try plugging in the backlight cable ( small cable ) with the lcd removed and power on camera to see if backlight works. I have bought from china seller on ebay before and received good lenses and other parts but dont buy from this one ruclips.net/video/ZAvJyqE2ADc/видео.html&ab_channel=Dave%27sProjects
Have you come across the control wheel when you go into the menu & press it it goes by itself? I came across a thread that said turn camera off then press hard & turn the wheel. It worked but then started acting up again. Called Sony they had me do a reset & it did it again & retried the 1st method & it stopped again.
yes. control wheel is dirty or ribbon cable is loose or bad. if you unplug the control wheel cable and turn the camera on the menu will go crazy. best to get a replacement control wheel with cable.
@@daves.projects Ok thanks are they available? Do you know how much? I just got this off ebay today & the seller is going to take it back but my wife really like the camera.
Hi, I have followed your instructions exactly (and I have rechecked each step) but for some reason the camera will not power up. Have you any suggestions please? Thanks
on the back of the main motherboard is the main power cable. it just pushes in no clip retainer. i dont see how it could have come unplugged. but you might want to check it.
Hi, I followed all your steps, now when I press the on button, the screen has a vague glow but the lens isn't turning on like before. What should I do?
I followed the steps but now when I turn on the camera the screen is really dark and in the middle some sort of vague negative/blue filter going on so I can barely seen the screen. Is this because I did something wrong or is the new screen damaged??
Linux & Other Stuff te old screen displayed a crack in the screen whenever I turned it on. I went to a camera shop to ask as well and they told me they hadn’t seen something like the new screen did either so maybe the webshop I purchased the new screen at, send me an old one. We tried both the small and the big cable.
sound like its not making good contact. could be the cable contact or the LCD internal contact. you have to be very gentle when handling the LCD and cable. see if the shop you bought the LCD from can send you a replacement LCD.
you can buy a new one from china that has double sided tape, you remove yours clean the frame and mount the new one. search this on ebay> NEW Top Small LCD Screen Window Protector Glass For Sony HX50 V HX60
That is strange.. check the backlight cable contacts make sure they are clean. shinny gold not frosted dull look. they could have a film on them causing them not to make contact. i have seen this before on all cables inside cameras.
you can change the motherboard. i dont have a video on that. but i do have lens replacement video. once removing the lens you can remove the motherboard. look in my play list camera repair videos.
@@daves.projects Amazing! thanks a lot! Also, do you know a way to clean the mother base from oxide? I had clean almost all of it, but is not working very well the new screen because is with oxide the place where I insert the connector of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
Excellent video Otherstuff. I've got a HX-50V where the Wi-Fi has completely stopped working. I get a Network error every time I try to use the Wi-Fi function. Sony have told me that it is most likely a hardware fault. Any ideas on which part might be causing this and where I could get the part from?
there is only three boards in the camera, top control panel board / main board / and the back control panel, i think the wifi antenna is on the top panel control board, try to initialize the camera first, and make sure your wifi is indeed working, the best way to set the wifi is to do the wifi WPS push, click on WPS Push in camera then you push the button on your wifi device.
@@Yokisupandi after looking again I think it might be. I'm the one confused. I thought the WX lens was smaller. it might just be the same lens. and ebay shows it listed for sale AS working for WX500 and HX90V
@daves.projects I have a Sony HX 90V camera, when I turn it on it just says "Turn off then turn on the power" do you think it can still be serviced? My greetings from Indonesia
@@Yokisupandi might be sticking dirty lens or battery. put a vacuum on lens to get any dirt out. then hold the lens towards the ground and turn the camera on. or try a b new battery ruclips.net/video/TuFkppRG--o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/r7qOYqIMXxg/видео.html
Thanks for this video, very clear and informative! Does the $20 Lcd and backlight have the same kind of quality as the original? My original Sony one has a lot of back light bleed due to being dropped once. Thanks
Joe Hammer Search HX50V LCD on ebay you will see two sold in the U.S. one for 14 ( just the lcd ) the other for 20 ( complete lcd ) Hope you see the message there was no 'reply' link to your comment, ( Thanks RUclips )
Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot! I have a Sony Cybershot DSC HX20V and, after installing my new screen, it wasn't working. I'd followed the instructions on this website: www.ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+Cyber-shot+DSC-HX20V+LCD+Replacement/41946 and still nothing! Then I heard you talking about the backlight and removing the back panel from the LCD and I realised that my new screen hadn't come with one! I couldn't use the hold one either because it had snapped. I've not ordered a new LCD screen with a backlight, thanks again for your help :D
sony dsc hx50v faulty needs repair hi , I have the same camera with a bad problem can you watch my utube video above and see if you might know what is wrong with it. jeff
Might be the contacts on the ribbon cables on the LCD or CCD. They get a residue build up on the contacts if the camera has been near moisture. Looks like you're losing contact on the LCD cable that powers the LCD. The back light is working. From what it look like in your video every time you push a button it makes contact. try this dont push a button but push on the case near a button and see if it does the same thing. If so you need to clean the gold contacts on the LCD ribbon cable. If they look dull they have a moisture residue build up on them. In this video you see the gold contacts on the LCD ribbon cable how bright gold they are? i have seen them dull with a build up on them and the camera would act funny. If its not the cable contacts it might be a bad LCD or ribbon cable but check the cable contacts first. clean them very carefully lay the LCD on a flat surface, dont bend on ribbon cable. clean them with a little toothpaste and a light tooth brush then make sure you remove all the toothpaste clean and dry before installing. Be very careful.
