My LCD screen for my Canon SD1000 was broken (cycling related). I put it in the back of my jersey, then the saddle hit it when I stopped. Luckily, they have replacement parts. It is only $29 plus shipping. Instead of buying a new camera, I decided to give it a shot and replace the broken LCD with a new one. Replacing the LCD is fairly simple. Remove the old one and put the new one in. That is all there is to it!  Broken LCD  This the only major tool that is needed to open up the camera.  Remove all the screws from the sides. Total of 6 screws.  Back of the camera off  Front of the camera off she comes   |

Very nice Levi! thanks for the diy info. Now I wonder if Bryan's broken lcd screen on his garmin comp/navi is replaceable! That'll be nice.

Thanks rob for the complement.
Yeah bryan, the next action plan for you is to send your unit back to Garmin. If it is under warranty, it will not cost you a penny.
