camera gone black

[sarahq1962]

Hi, hope you can help me. I have a sony cybershot dsc830. Had it just over a year and all been fine. Today for no reason at all - the camera just went black. it works but I can see nothing. To test it - I took a picture ( not know what I was taking as all black). When I put the memory card in the computer the pictures come out perfectly - it is just the camera is black - what can I do? I bought it from Argos - just over a year ago - so i guess it is out of any warranty that Sony might give?

Hi Sarah,

Sounds like display illumination is broken - guess you need to send your cam for repair.

Cheers

yes, guess you are right probably. Had it just over a year. cost me about £70 - do you have any idea is it worth having it repaired? or buy a new one? Where to go to get it repaired? Thanks
