Canon EOS 40D LCD problem

[magradze]

<p>Greetings everyone

!

<br>

40D's LCD is not working properly. It does show imajes and menu but it developed some kind of a "w

hite filter", as if contrast is very low. However, this is not a contrast setting problem. Close look shows that this

"white filter" (which covers whole LCD screen including area where shot settings are shown) does twinkle, as in very o

ld TV sets. I haven't droped or hit my camera.</p

<p>You might need to replace the LCD. Not too hard of job if you're a DIYS type. Meanwhile you might check the LCD connector. Sometimes they work loose.</p>

<p>If you plug the 40d into a TV via the video cord that`ll bipass the LCD, but if it does the same then prob maybe elsewhere... ;o)</p>

<p>Thanks for replies!<br>

Now LCD is working properly, but it will go bad again, as before. I live in country Georgia (one with unfortunate neighborhood with Russia) and Canon services are literally inexistent. So I may have to do fix it myself, if possible. <br>

Chris JB: I connected camera to TV and picture was good. Looking at LCD you can tell that problem is with LCD.</p>

<p>Puppy Face: if you know, could you please, give me a link where I can see instructions on how replace LCD or check connector.<br>

Thanks!<br>
