camera turns on but screen back light not working.

camera turns on but screen back light not working. My sister spilled water into her purse and some got on her DSC W150 camera. It wouldn't even turn on for days. After the internal battery discharged the camera was able to turn on but the display had no picture.

Id just get a new display, but before I did that I would see if I could open it up and locate the display connector (if there is one) then make sure everything is dry and connected properly. I would also try a hard reset (opening the battery case while it is running). I hope this helps, good luck.

It does sound like your backlight is out. The backlight is part of the LCD. Double check your ribbon cable and your connector. If everything looks okay, I would replace the LCD. The service manual for your teardown is available for your download on my fileserver It will also allow you to further trouble shoot your camera. Good luck and let us know how it is progressing.

I'm literally having the same problem right now and I'm wondering what I should do
