Busted screen, buy a new one! fit it yourself at a fraction of the cost of pro repair,outside of warranties.

The finepix s5700 is my goto workhorse camera, only has 10x optical zoom so it works well in low light, macro and super macro focusing. chrome mode which accentuates saturation so the images look good online, and at 7.1mp it uploads quickly.

Dad got one for nothing all working except the screen, i decided that it is well worth repairing.

Buy the Screen.

i bought a direct replacement from china, its often the cheaper on ebay than gettting the required part from a 'proper source'

Wait 2 to 6 Weeks
