Powershot A1300 LCD display is white

thinkfiat — Tue, 03 Jan 2017 13:00:18 GMT

My Canon Powershot A1300 LCD display is permanently white and the camera does not take pictures any more. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this please?

This happened suddenly. I took a picture with flash, which worked OK, then tried a second picture almost immediately and the display had gone white.

If I press DISP to switch between LCD and viewfinder, the screen will switch between black and white and sometimes spontaneously switches off too - but still won't take pictures.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Probably a bad sensor. I think it's time for a new camera.

Thanks for the quick reply. I feared that might be the case.

... but if anyone can suggest a happier ending, that would be great.

If new batteries doesn't recover it, then it is surely toast.

I tried the batteries (that is about the limit of my technical skills). I guess it is toast then. Sad.

Contact Canon U.S. Support for the best advice. They're more familiar with the gear than we are. Good Luck.
