Where would you suggest I buy a replacement screen?

Yours must be different than mine,. mine required a separation of a sticky piece from around the screen and then getting it back on the new one in almost perfect alignment as you find out when you start putting it back together. I used a prying tool a very small Phillips screwdriver and a very small torx tool, all of which came in the kit I ordered from easyworldwidetrading (Hong Kong) (ebay) for $64.99 no. 302013683286, but make sure yours is the same Camera, good Luck

PS: Be very careful, the piece’s are cheap plastic and will break… Now I gotta find the outside piece… ugh

My LCD screen shows what I am taking a picture of but when I hit the picture viewer button the screen goes black. So do I need to replace the LCD screen or do you think it would be something else?
