Can you repair a camera?

I have a nikon coolpix L11 L10 digital camera. I dropped it and the screen cracked. The camera still turns on but on the screen it has a bright white picture. it still makes all the sounds and stuff and the memory card still works but I just can’t take pictures. Is there any way I can repair the screen?

Answer by Scott
The screen would have to be replaced. If it’s cracked, there is absolutely nothing you can do to repair it.

Nikon D70, 2004 – 2007


Image by RYN TMRW
I bought my D70 in 2004, a gift to for myself after winning a PDN Award. I figured it was about time I should get a grownup camera.

It was, seriously, the largest camera I’d ever lugged around, even back to my film days. But man, it was awesome – the 18-70 lens gave me just enough of a wide angle, and when i got the SB-600 sparkle it became an instant party camera.

It’s weird – I never reckon about the equipment unless I have to buy some. Once I have it, on the best days, it becomes a transparent filter which i see things through. Sure, I’d always like to have a few more degrees of view or one lower f-stop for the bar, but mostly, it’s a tool.

The D70 was a very, very excellent example of that. Except for some ahead of schedule-adopter glitches (Google BGLOD if you want to read up), it was a signal performer, and the images were incredible. 95% of my photos on here were taken with it.

On New Being Eve, as my parents sat for a likeness in their finest, next to their piano, it took a single shot and then locked. I tried unsticking it, I tried a few different lenses, but the results were the same. The Gap Control Arm had failed, not a cheap fix, certainly not for an aging digital.

So, back to Nikon it goes, and perhaps they’ll fix it, but perhaps not. Either way, it and I part ways here. If it can be repaired, it goes to a friend of mine who is a brilliant photographer but never with enough disposable income to get equipment that would allow her to shine.

If it cannot be repaired, perhaps we’ll have a burial service.

Some question the inevitable: What will you get next? I have yet to choose. I’m hoping that someone, Nikon preferably, wises up and makes a small digital street camera similar to a rangefinder, but digital. The Leica M8 is intriguing, but has far too many "quirks" to justify it’s price. The D3 is incredible, but weighs too damn much (same for the D300).

I thought about going back to film. Thought about it for a long, long time. But in the end, it’s just not how I shoot. My style has evolved through the particularities and allowances digital offers. I’m not a very "excellent" photographer, meaning I forget the technical stuff a lot and need instant feedback to see everywhere i went incorrect.

The main issue I have with Digital against Film is that Film, at it’s best, allows you to capture a moment without interfering with that moment. When you shoot that same moment with Digital, you’re constantly going back and forth from viewfinder to screen, checking your shots, and it ceases to be about being in the moment. Film photographers are snipers, Digital photographers are machine gunners.

So, I’ll wait it out. I’m hoping for a D60 at PMA, or possibly a D90? But in anticipation of then, I’m going to use this awesome Polaroid and my iPhone and limp along into the future.

Now I need to get the help of Korean factory to get it repaired.I paid nearly US$ 220.00 for that digital camera.Pl send me e-mail take up and the name of the person whom I must contact.
My camera is Nikon coolpix S5 digital camera.

Hope this helps

Edit -

Nikon Australia has an e-mail take up for repair, you could e-mail them and question for the right email for Nikon Korea.

The answer above is right to a point, Nikon Australia, won’t touch your camera. You need to stick with the sales area you bought the camera in. Australia is in a different sales area. They will deem the camera gray promote and refuse service on it.
