Hey,
By following a link found in another post(http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...ad.php?t=48091) I found the phone number for Canon. I need to replace the LCD for and SD300, which I think looks like the exact same camera as the SD200 except it's 4 mp. Anyways, I plan on calling them tomorrow and I'll let you know if I find out the part number and how much it costs.

If anyone has a part diagram for this camera, I'm sure it would be a great help but I just don't know where to find one. Anyways, if anyone has any other information that would be great, otherwise I'll post whatever I find.

I called Canon and they said the model number for the LCD is CK91103 and cost $53 plus $5 for shipping. However they don't have any in stock and don't plan on getting any until the end of January. I'll post anything else I find.

Is it easy to crack these LCDs? Thanks

reykroona · 11th of January 2005 (Tue)

Well, I'm not really sure how this one even cracked. I bought it for my girlfriend for christmas and a week ago we noticed it was broken. I'm guessing it broke when it was in a case and in her purse. She says that she never dropped her purse or did anything she remembered that might have done any damage, so I don't know. If you look at the camera it's obviously brand new, no scratches or anything, so I know it wasn't dropped. I'm thinking about taking it back to where I bought it and say that the camera should be able to be in a purse with a case and not have any problems and see what they say. Otherwise I'll be buying a screen from Canon and put it in myself.

I guess to answer your question, it probably is pretty easy to crack. There is no protection for the screen(my Fuji S1 has a plastic cover on it that protects the screen). You may want to do a little more research on it.

Some people take better care of their cameras than others and some are just plain unlucky it seems, sometimes !

A reasonably sturdy case seems the obvious way to reduce the risk of cracking your LCD and trying not to pile too much stuff on it when it's packed away in a bag or rucksack.

I replaced the LCD in my SD110 about a month ago- in fact, that might be my post that is linked in this thread. I had it in a case and fell down while walking the dog. When I took out the lcd, I was amazed at how thin and breakable it is.

So in answer to your question of is it easily breakable, it's as easy to break as plate glass that is 1mm thick- becasue that is exactly what it is. I'm amazed that they don't make the glass much thicker.

Since I couldn't find any hard cases, I have now fabricated a stainless steel case for both my SD110 and my SD200. I'll never break an lcd again.

The SD200 and 300 are new cameras. Have you checked if Canon will repair these under warranty? I bought one for myself and my lady friend has one too.

athena2703 · 27th of January 2005 (Thu)

Canon will not repair the LCD panal under warranty if it was broken under impact. I also have no clue as to how my camera was broken. I took my camera out of my purse and the LCD was broken. My SD200 is at the repair center new, and it will cost me $168.50 to get it fixed. If the screen is that flimsy I think it should be covered under warranty. But that's my opinion.

I still haven't gotten my replacement LCD for my SD300 and I'm leaving for Europe on March 3rd. I asked them when I would get it and they said it wouldn't come in until mid March or so. I'd hate to go to Europe without a camera. I was thinking about maybe buying the SD200 and when I got the 300 fixed, sell the 200 on ebay or something. Anyone got any better ideas?

jalynn · 20th of February 2005 (Sun)

My daughter got the SD200 for Christmas and in January the same thing happened. The camera was in her purse and when she took it out to use it, the screen was broken. Although I hate for it to happen to anyone, I'm glad to see it wasn't just her.

SD200- My LCD screen is NOT acutally CRACKED, but it IS broken!

My daughter had something hard in her pocket, along with the camera, and fell. Needless to say, the $2.00 toy didn't break, but the LCD did!
As I read in a prevoius post, when you gently shake the camera you can hear what sounds like a tiny piece of glass or screw rattling around. The SCREEN itself is not cracked or damaged, but when you run your finger over the screen, it's as though you were smearing the liquid around under the screen.There is liquid movement.
It has all the appearances of a broken window off in the distance.(Because the screen is so small). Tiny jagged edges, fine cracks, a piece broken out as though a baseball hit the 'window' etc.

The camera seems to work fine other than that. It will come on, flash, and appear to take a picture. I haven't yet hooked it up to the computer to see if it actually took the picture.

I just this minute got off the telephone with Canon USA parts dept. The LCD part# is CK9-1103-000. With shipping it will cost$ 67.21 total.

The cust. service rep. said the part was not in stock, but scheduled to arrive at Canon the second week of March, 2005. It would ship to me then.

I have to say, I am a little concerned because all the other posts say they replaced a "cracked" screen. Obviously cracked on the OUTSIDE. I am worried that this "LIQUID" will be all over the inside of the camera.

And I went to the link with all the parts. (listed below). Great site, but nothing on SD200.

Oh, and I asked the Canon USA parts rep. to fax or email me a parts sheet.
She said they had them, but that the DID NOT send them to customers, only authorized dealers, etc. I told her I read where CANADA fax'd a parts sheet to a customer, and her attitude was basically too fu***** bad. She was really curt, and dry the whole time.

In fairness, the plain old customer service rep that I first spoke to was a nice guy. He didn't know how much it would be to fix the camera, but "guesstimated" it would be about $100.00 since he didn't know what was wrong with it. (Even though I told him about the liquid/screen, etc).

So, I have bookmarked repair instructions that I read here. I will probably frantically ask for help again when the part arrives at my home.

ANYONE HAD THIS 'LIQUID' PROBLEM BEFORE?? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Thanks to those who have given their advice and knowledge, it's a real lifesaver.

An LCD is basically liquid sandwiched between two pieces of glass. It lights up by way of a backlight that is a seperate piece. The amount of liquid that is in there is so small that even if it got out of the LCD as it sounds yours has, it wouldn't damage the camera. Does the backlight still come on? Becasue if it doesn't, that may be damaged too, and it is not considered part of the LCD assembly. My SD110 cracked so badly that the liquid was also "coming out". Luckly the backlight still worked. I called about 10 places and they all said it would be about $190 to fix. Even Canon USA said about $190. My LCD screen cost about $40 and took me maybe 30 minutes to replace. The camera has been flawless since.

A few weeks ago I cracked the LCD on my SD200. I decided to replace it myself so I ordered a new LCD from Canon. When I got it, I was able to remove the old LCD and install the new one fairly easily. The only problem is that after I put the camera back together it won't turn on.

Anybody have any idea what could be wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

if it was too easy, maybe you did it wrong

? Maybe the backlight behind the lcd was also damaged ? You may need to purchase more parts. Safest thing to do is take it to the shop for fixing.

daffy.
