Some dedicated camera stores do repairs, and this should be a relatively easy fix for them. However, unless it's a particularly expensive camera or one with special sentimental value, you may find it costs more to have the camera fixed than to simply get a new one. Look for a "Wolf Camera" store, they're usually in shopping malls.

Unfortunately no. While I have been successful before in removing old lcd screens there really isnt a place to go buy a new one. Ebay possibly but really it would probably be easier and safer to send the camera to its manufacturer for repairs.

The only chance of fixing it is to send it back to the manufacturer if possible. They may be able to replace the screen for a price.

If you know the exact model of your camera, you often can easiliy buy spare parts on Ebay or other websites for cameras and phones. The problem is usually not getting the part but how to install it. Sometimes you can find this information on hobbyist websites, often you will just have to try and hope for the best.

Finding someone to repair a broken camera screen can be tricky because often times it is simply cheaper to buy a new camera. The screens can sometimes be fixed by independent companies or individuals. If you can find someone else with the same camera with something else broken sometimes the cameras can be combined to make one good camera.

You may be able to have the camera screen replaced by taking it to a specialty camera shop or by returning it to the manufacturer if it is still under warranty. If not you may just have to purchase a new camera.

Well you can easily buy a new screen and have it repaired at a local electronics repair shop. You can buy them off of ebay.

An expensive camera, like a Nikon, might be worth sending to the manufacturer to be repaired, otherwise not really. You can contact the manufacturer and see about their repair policy.

You would need to take the camera apart and remove the screen. Then replace it with another one. It's not worth it in price or effort.

No,if your camera screen is broken you have to go buy a used one if you can't afford a new one,if you have enough money then you should go buy a brand new one from a recognized shop.
