A cracked LCD screen is a prevalent problem in digital cameras. But, before you spend money on a new LCD screen, make sure the camera still works by taking a few pictures and uploading them to your computer. A cracked LCD will not affect the quality of the pictures. You do not want to try to replace the LCD if something else is broken.
