cracked screen on the Olympus 710: Has anyone else had their screen crack?
1500711
Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done. Thanks, Nick

Hi Suzanne,The screen cracked on my sons Nabi last month. Luckily they offer the screen replacement service! I paid the $74.99 fee on the Nabi site, they immediately emailed me the next steps. I shipped it to the Nabi Care center on a Thursday & we had it back in our possession with a fixed screen the next Thursday. I was very please at how quick the process was. Please let me know if you have any questions!- Malynda

Did you check the screen before completing the install. When I installed mine the screen is very delicate and easily broken. You will need to send it back as a defect.

Stacey, I am by no means a person who works on electronics or considered computer savey. The new screen has only been on the tablet a short time. So far so good. If it's still working this time next year I will be really proud of myself. Watch YouTube videos on this repair, take your time and it should go well.

Yes, my screen cracked also but I did not repair it. Just replaced it with another tablet...Sorry, good luck..

Susan, it's a total waste of time to try to get parts or repairs. I had a broken screen and went on eBay. Found a Vado with another problem and got it for $17. If you're not good at disassembly, etc., you can buy one that works for $70. Wayne

I have not had a problem with the screen but, then again, I don't use the camera a whole lot. Hopefully, someone else who uses their camera a lot can also reply.

We had problems with the screen when we got our unit - It was unusable. Clearly their quality control is lacking. I would suggest you return it. They will offer part credit, but if you insist, you can get full credit.

I would contact them about it. This is a very common issue they've been having and were nice enough to send me a replacement for free. They stated they fixed the issue with better quality materials to prevent the plastic from cracking but I won't get to try it out since I sold off my Nexus 10. There are going more powerful, affordable, and better tablets coming soon anyway. The new Nexus 7 is just one of the many to come.

To be honest I would live with the crack. Replacement of this screen is soo risky it's not worth taking the chance. It's not easy as it seems, Don't believe the hype!

Mine makes a small noise, too, when I push down the corners. I don't think anything is "cracking," per se; I think there's just a small amount of flex in the screen/circuit board assembly, and it's moving slightly in the more-rigid back case. I think the only way to avoid that would have been to glue the screen solidly into the back case, which would have made it completely unrepairable. (I'm not sure that it can be repaired as it is, but a bead of glue around the whole screen would certainly have foreclosed any such possibility.)

MY frame's screen crapped out after exactly a year of use. You may wanna email kodak and ask. Sorry

I think mine was refurbished and the front screen had a noticeable crack. It worked fine so I didn't get another.
