Re: Power / LCD Problem with S1100

2014-05-16 by racciolo@...

Not sure if this would help but I once had an S1100 which was doing the same thing. It worked fine for a few days then whenever I powered up the screen was blank with random bits of the screen slowly becoming illuminated but not to show any characters or numbers but what looked more like a "liquid" stain.

I took it back to the shop and they had a look and after a couple of days they had fixed it. They told me it was something outputting the wrong voltage. They weren't specific (I should have asked I know!) but it was something you could adjust from an internal pcb trim.

I'd say best course of action would be to download the schematics from the "files" section of this group and get in there to with a multimeter to check voltages.

Good luck!
