Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 LCD Screen Replacement

Introduction

The LCD (liquid-crystal display) screen is a flat panel that uses liquid crystals, polarizers, and a backlight or reflector to display images. Without the LCD screen, the user is unable to access some information or the image gallery.

If the LCD screen is not powering on after the LCD/Finder button has been pressed twice, then the screen may need to be replaced.
