Hi, my canon G12 is working perfectly but the LCD is now malfunctioning. The colours on my LCD screen are as if “polarized” showing only in bright red, blue, purple and white. Also, the image is flickering when I move the screen. I haven’t used the camera in a while and never dropped it. I tried replacing the LCD but I still have the problem. I can take pictures with it that are completely fine once I download them to my PC. Does anyone know what the issue is? Tried looking online but, I didn’t find any explanation as to what component need to be replaced (eg: main board, CCD, display board). I can find any part replacement online but, I don’t want to play trial and error as it may end up costing me more than just buying a used one. I just feel it’s a waist to throw away a perfectly good camera for an LCD issue, especially after spending so much for it back in the day. See the video below which is what my LCD fault looks like. Thank all you! Patrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETNPFuxK…
Patrick Dionne this is difficult since Canon is not DIY friendly and does not publish any of their schematics. Checking the video in your link I’d go with a bad LCD first. It is possible that this is caused by a bad Gamma IC which should be on your LCD PCB assembly. Would be an easy question answered and a relative easy repair with the availability of schematics etc.. That is why most regular users on here support the Right to Repair movement. We are sick and tired of wasting our hard earned money, polluting of our Planet based on the pure greed and paranoia of companies like Canon, Nikon, Apple etc.
