My Lumix DMC LX3 screen went black, can I fix it?
Hi iFixit folks. This is my first post... I have a Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera (I don't think there's a repair guide for it on here). I bought it in the UK, but live in the Netherlands now. It's six years old or thereabouts, but I don't want to throw it out just yet.
All of a sudden, on holiday on the beautifully-named Dutch island of Schiermonnikoog in August, the camera's digital screen refused to turn on when I turned the camera on. It stays completely black. The camera still works, zooms in and out and takes photos, although as the screen stays off, the photos are a mix of guesswork and surprise when you get them off the SD card.
Can I repair it? Are there resources out there that can help me...? I am a novice at repairing things, although I once wired an electric lightbulb and only *nearly* electrocuted myself.
Es esta una buena pregunta?
What a coincidence, the same problem, and am from the same country.
I contacted Panasonic and they recommended me to contact a company that repairs cameras. But only the LCD display would cost me 123 Euros. I am in doubt if I should buy a cheap copy LCD display online and try to fix it myself, or just buy an other camera. I really love my Lumix.
