How much would it cost to replace a screen on a digital camera?
The screen is cracked and the show underneath is hurt. How much would it cost to repair this on a pentax optio?
Oh and I really didn’t place this question up for someone to just say “It’s not worth it.” I reckon it’s worth it, I would rather like to be able to take accurate photos. If you’re going to answer, you might as well do it properly.
Thankyou to those who have really given me answers and prices.
Oh and the camera is only 6 months ancient

many would say it’s not that terrible.

Not worth it. Repair would only have 1-3month warranty.
Just buy another one 2nd hand off ebay. It should be as reliable as your current one, as long as it is not hurt.

You questioned a question – you can’t expect to dictate what answers people must give. The reality is that it ISN’T worth repair in most cases unless you find someone who can repair it at less than normal commercial rates. Once you add the labour, the cost of sourcing the screen and equate that to replacing the camera then it would be hard to justify. It is very unlikely that any photographic repair shops will have a screen in stock, they will need to find one, possibly taking weeks, and the final factor is that there is a possibility of other hurt to the camera aside from the screen.
If the camera was to have sentimental value, then yes, possibly you might consider repairing it, but otherwise it would be hard to see how it would benefit you. Most workshops charge well over $ 120 per hour for their time, and that could easily take a couple of hours to strip, replace and test the camera once the new screen has been sourced. The new screen is very liable to cost more half the price of a new camera – unfitted. Parts are expensive – it is like those reports you see everywhere it will cost $ 90,000 to build a $ 30,000 car from spare parts.

“With digital, the business model has altered.”

I finally said "enough is enough" and chose to crack open my dad’s ancient Electro Spotmatic and took it upon for myself to attempt a repair. The mirror was stopped at the up position, so the viewfinder was filled with complete blackness. So framing, focusing and checking the exposure were out of the question. The buck repair estimate that I got was 5 up front, eight weeks of turnaround, and no guarantee that it could it be flat.
I read some very vague and poorly written instructions on a French Pentax messageboard, and went at it. Ten minutes and two drops of trumpet valve oil later, the mirror is working once again. I even made an Instructable to help English speakers who might want to fit their busted cameras.
We have a Pentax ZX-50(film camera not digital) that we’ve had for possibly 10 being. Numerous being ago the sparkle stopped in commission. Just recently, we sent the camera off to a camera repair in another state. It had been a really excellent camera and we wanted to keep it rather than buy a new one. The camera came back fine as far as we could tell, in anticipation of we got the pictures developed. Well some turned out okay, but then other pictures looked really underexposed and sort of foggy; they were taken within a few minutes of one another so I doubt it was the lighting. We thought possibly it was terrible developing, we did it at walmart, but then we tried walgreens and the same thing happened. Does anyone know if the camera’s still broken or is it terrible developing? Also the camera was set on automatic for all the pictures.
Answer by woofan60
faulty shutter plane…
lens coupling loose…could let in unwanted set alight…
try a slow speed film..200 ASA and shoot a roll half in automatic…half in shutter priority…or a couple long exposures..
you might have even gotten a terrible roll of film
excellent luck..and fantastic that you are by a film camera!!
Answer by VicSEO
It sounds like you may have a set alight leak surrounding the closing mechanism of your camera. If you do not get any foggy pictures in dark lighting and then the foggy images appear in broad daylight, then you certainly have a set alight leak. Sometimes, relining of the camera back edges with felt may do the trick.
Excellent luck!
