Before I got my A60 I had a HP Photosmart 320. Then I broke the screen and got the A60. What should I do with it? Would anyone want to buy it with the broken screen?

I doubt you could get much of a sale from it..

It would almost seem better to give it to someone you know that might want to try things out (assuming it is still functional)

I miss worded that. It was a digital camera and I broke the LCD. I am the only one that knows how to work it with the broken screen. I know how many times to press the flash button to get no flash ect.

Write down how to change things, then give the camera to someone whom would like to have a free camera to play with.

or

Buy another "parts only" camera of the same model, and cull the LCD off that camera, then sell the working camera and hulk.

or

Sell your camera as "parts only" or as a fixer upper.

or

Keep your camera as 'back up", until you forget how to set the flash, then toss it out.

Take a 7/16 inch drill bit. Drill a hole right down the middle from top to bottom. Go to the hardware store and get a 7/16 hollow rod, threaded on both ends, an electric cord and a light socket and turn that baby into a lamp!

Or better yet a clock!

Can I make a clock with the LCD?

Well perhaps, I was sort of joking... along the same lines as Indy. Just drill a hole through it and attach a cheap clock. Mount a hanger on the back and sell it for a million dollars to a crazy camera nut, or better yet trade the clock for a 100-400L ;-) and the 1D MII body to go with it ;-) ;-)

Facetiously,
Vince

You can make an interesting keychain out of it.

OOh... nice. Hollow it out so it's not so heavy :)
