Just read with interest this post and want to add my 3 week old Fuji E900 to the list of

broken LCD's! Went out on friday night with my E900 in my camera case and was using it

fine. Then took it out to take a short film of some friends and to my shock and horror, it

had a white screen with what looked like the markings from the inside of the case (folds

and such)! Nothing can be displayed apart from this burnt on image with reminds me of

the days in photography A'level when i experimented with an enlarger and leaves on

photographic paper to make negative impressions of items to develop. I'm almost

wondering if it could be magnetic damage from being near speakers in a club for a couple

of mins though i didn't see any at the time. I hold a BA Hons degree in photography and

have had a Minolta A1 digital camera before this but wanted a compact to help me start

taking photo's again as i'm currently in a very boring call centre job thats soul destroying

and i've stopped practising in the 3.5 months since i've been in the job. i am so careful

with my cameras so i'm so gutted this has happened when i don't get paid much anyway

and can't even see how i caused it to break. I took it into Jessops yesterday and the first

lady who looked at it said it seemed to have impact damage and wouldn't be covered

under manufacters warranty. The guy manager said it was very strange and i explained i

hadn't dropped it and it had been on my wrist the whole time. He said he'd send it off for

repair under man. warranty if i brought in my receipt ( bought it from web Jessops) and my

serial number, I wasn't in my home city though so now i am back i am going to see what

can be done but i'm worried that it might be held to ransom if i don't agree to pay for what

i don't see as my fault if Fuji just say it is accidental damage not covered for free.

Here is a pic of my screen i took with the Minolta A1 ( that has been excellent and hardy

for 3 years now.<div></div>
