Camera Repair shop

Any TCB recommendations? I cracked the LCD screen on my Canon digital elph last week. The camera will still take and store photos, but you can't view them on the camera anymore.

I bought the camera at Best Buy almost a year ago and purchased the stupid repair warranty and unfortunately it does not cover the LCD if it is cracked or broken.

My guess is it's going to be cheaper to buy a new camera than fix the one you have.

I have had that thought in my head the whole time, but it's worth getting a quote first.

Ya called these guys?? Maybe they could lead ya in the correct direction!

Those things typically just plug in inside the camera. You might find the TCB route is to buy a screwed up one on eBay for parts.

You'll need a cheap set of jeweler's screwdrivers to get it opened up.

Yeah I thought about begging Canon into giving me a new one or fixing it for free. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

I was carrying it in my pocket, with no case (BIG MISTAKE) and I bumped a wooden chair. Turned it on and the screen was black with red lines in a cracked formation. Funny thing is, this is my second Digital Elf. 1st one I gave to my sister and it is over 5 years old. I dropped it I don't know how many times and it still works like it was brand new.

That's a good idea, if all else fails!

Definately give Cannon a call... you just never know. I cracked the LCD on my Nokia cell phone and used a local repair place in Richardson. The cost to replace the screen at a factory authorized place was $20 or so.

There is a man in richardson that runs Rani Electronics 972-235-2001
and I take all my cameras to him for repair and cleaning. Probably not TCB, but his work is A+++

The same thing happened to me. Wolf on Forrest Ln sold me a warranty and handed me a new camera. I think it was around $80.
