Question

panasonic dmc-lx1 lumix screen is black. Camera does turn on with white screen but cannot view or take pictures. Shuts off after a few minutes. Tried full battery recharge. Camera is 4 years old, never a problem. Only new thing: was backpacking in heat, about 95 degrees. Any ideas?

When camera is turned on I get only a white screen. No menus, viewfinder or ability to look at pics. After about 30 secs the screen turns black and the power goes off. I am able to connect to a PC via USB cable and transfer photos to the PC, however the camera shuts off before all pics can be transferred.

Accepted Answer

Hi,thank you very good info.The lcd itself will most likely be in need of replacement,I suspect that excessive current draw is what is causing shut down(From lcd,bright white).I suspect that lcd will be in need of replacement.This is a fairly routine repair and should cost less than $100.00 to correct your problem.
I hope I have been assistance to you,if so please click on "accept"
Thank you have a great day! jd
