Is the LCD screen still usable or do you have to unsnap and remove top cover completely to use it?

The cover of the PowerShot SX50HS is similar to my older Canon FTB and you do have to remove the top cover to use it !

I don't mean to contradict the other answers, and yes the screen is connected to the front. Bit if I really epwanted it off, I would pop it off. :)

I dis-assemble and clean the screen as it needs it. Regular cleaning will keep it in perfect condition. It is also so cheap to purchase that you are better off trashing any broken units entirely and buy a new one. Be sure to handle the plastic cup carefully by not over tightening, and wet the "o ring" to ensure a water right seal before using and everything should last a very long time. I've had mine for over a year with no problems.

It's a magnetic clip on (and I don't have the demensions with me right now) so depending on how much you need to move the LCD screen, you can just clip and unclip it as needed once you move the LCD. Not really sure if that answers your question, but I can try to get some pix of it from another camera or get actual measurements if need be. Just take a day or 2 :)Rio

There is a cover but I found it annoying so I cut it off. For dirty than normal use it would come in handy. The screen was easy to use expect for control center. I Had trouble bringing it up. Although I still have a little trouble without the screen. And the screen comes off easily.

I thought mine was held together such that it is not supposed to be disassembled. I was wrong, apparently you can twist it apart for replacement of the screen. It would be nice to include photos for clarity.

Hello. Its been a few months since I replaced screen but if I can recall I used a utility knife and a really small electronics screw driver. You have to be really careful when taking the plastic rim that surrounds the screen off (use to hands) as it is fragile plastic that will crack. Its pretty straight forward and easy. Good luck.

You can remove it by heating the LCD (apply heat very slowly) with a hair dryer. Don't get it too hot, too quickly. The Giottos glue will loosen, so you can VERY carefully slightly lift around all sides to free it. Don't pry it from one end it will crack. Go slow and use care and you should be able to remove without breaking. (I would probably leave it on and get a new one if your replacing your camera.

There's one ob mine too. But I left it on. So none of my screen is uncovered. I've had the cover for a few months and its awesome.

Hold the top with one hand, push the screen down or pull it up to adust.It is very easy, DO NOT think too too much.

Hi, is a really difficult to do it, in fact the challenge is to remove the screen from the original case without damage the electronical circuit, despite of following all the steps by you tube, in my case we damage the circuit, so the best advice is to buy it and take it to an expert to do it. otherwise is a waste of money not only for the casing for the cellphone

If your lcd is broken then yes this is what you need. Becareful when removing the screen in front of lcd -- you'll need a heat gun to warm up glue to make t easier to take off and can melt edges as well as crack it. It's hard to do with out experience

The top screen or the bottom screen? The screw at the top unscrews itself annoyingly often. Swishing it back and forth in hot, soapy water does it for me.

Yes, you can use the screen cover by itself. In fact, I prefer it this way. If you use the back case you cannot pop the front cover on and off unless you also remove the plastic back cover.

if you cant see anything on the screen you'll need the repair kit with LCD part. Search for youtube videos on how to fix it. they were very helpful and made the repair really easy for me. Just take your time and have a magnet handy to hold all the tiny screws when you take them out

Screen is exposed. I like mine that way. I want full access to the screen. It does help absorb stock if dropped, though.
