sony camcorder lcd problem

[Wizard23]

I have a lcd problem with my sony camcorder. Today i turned it on to watch some hi8 tapes and the lcd aint working when its facing me. When i flip it over it works. I tried the reset and nothing. This has happened before. I did contact sony the first time and they told me to reset it and it didn't help this time. Any help would be great.

Most likely it is because of a microswitch just inside the LCD housing near the hinge. Usually with a small cross-headed precision screwdriver you can take the housing off and look to see if there is a switch.

Ummm i can try that but another thing. Last year my dad spilled his drink on my camcorder by accident and i had the lcd screen opened could that affect the half of the lcd screen?

in the middle of the camcorder i looked and there is like this white thing on it i believe it controls the lcd cause when i touched it it worked now the icd keeps going on and off

Perhaps the liquid got inside the microswitch and has eventually "gunked up" the innards of the switch.

i was hoping something like that wouldnt happen i got no warranty and now i cant use the lcd screen. The thing i touched now effected the whole thing now i gotta open the lcd open to use the eye. What could i done just touching it with my finger?

its now working with the eye so far.
