Samsung Digital Camera LCD Screen Replacement 

I have found the best way has been through listings on EBay. There are several companies who have stores you can gain access through from their listings. You can go to their store site and enter in your camera type and if there is an LCD for it, it will list. You can then use that number or series and shop for the best price.

From what information I can find on the ST205F, the LCD has a large, wrap around ribbon. It looks to be more involved that the demonstration shown here. The best way to find out is to dig in and see what happens. Always be sure that when you start disassembling the camera that you are prepared for the event of not being able to repair it. The camera you describe is not a common camera and parts are difficult to find for it.

Newer cameras and those with the touch screens are a different beast. It sounds like the screen in yours has gone bad. If it happened on a hot day, it overheated and went out.

+arden298 Okay and thank you for getting back to me. I realized last night that I paid for an extended warrenty and still had the receipt! I am so happy about that.

Hi Driverv86. I did some research and found that you can change the LCD out in the same way as this video. It is available on EBay for $26 as of Jan 14, 2015. Just go there and type in Samsung NX100 LCD and it will bring them up. This one is listed with free shipping too. They are really easy to change out, as the video shows. It will save you $$$ to do it yourself.

Thanks arden298 it turns out that it's not a scratched screen though! It's the plastic cover over the AMOLED. This makes it even worse because I can't seem to get that part.

driverv86 I wish I had better news for you. I did some research about the AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) in your Samsung NX100 and from what I can determine, it is a manufacturer item. Samsung is the brand but guess where the camera is made? You guessed it. China. I do not know what to say. I am not sure if a standard LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) can be substituted or not. You can go to Samsung.com and write to the engineering staff for more information. Wish I had better news.

No worries, thanks for the thought. I am probably going to pry off the plastic cover and replace it with a peel and stick protector.

If I understand correctly, is the little floppy thing you refer to the bar that clamps down onto the ribbon connector? If this is what you are referring to, this could be the problem. You will need to replace the circuit board is so. You can look on websites like EBay and find some good deals.

arden298 Oh no. There's no other way of fixing the camera? I can't replace the clamp, or use something to enact as one?

adonist7 If the bracket that holds the locking bar is intact, you could insert a new lock bar. BUT you will be hard pressed to find a lock bar. What type of camera is it? Have you looked on EBay to see if there is a circuit board available for it? I myself have had the bar pop out due to a bracket breaking. These are designed to place pressure on the ribbon strip to get the contact it needs to complete the grid for the LCD to operate. I have not found any substitute for one of these broken bars and have had to either procure a replacement board or retire the camera. I am sorry you are having this problem too.

arden298 is the bracket a small black piece that is very fragile? Or is that a lock bar?

adonist7 It is a lock bar. Be careful when you raise it. Watch the video again real close. I show how to release the lock and re lock after the new screen is replaced. If it breaks, you need to get a new board.
