Anne --

These cameras are not designed to be repaired (generally not even by the company that makes them). They just replace them with a reconditioned model and charge you a lot of money for doing this.

Any option you have is most likely going to cost more than to buy a new camera. While it's possible some simple physical connection is broken, it's much more likely that a circuit on a chip is the problem. Getting the camera apart, then diagnosing the problem (correctly) then buying the replacement part (even if harvesting from a dead camera of the same model purchased on eBay) will probably cost as much as buying a new camera that's most likely several times better, faster, and unbroken.

And, for about $100 you can get an updated version of your camera, the Fuji A400. For a little more money you can get a really great, highly rated cameras, the Fuji F470.

It's a throw-away world. Too bad, isn't it?

I bought a replacement LCD on Ebay for my Finepix A303. I unscrewed the 3 tiny screws around the camera, allowing the back cover to come off easily. Removed, one screw secured the LCD screen. Gently pulled out the LCD with the cable. The new part easily fit in there. Put all the screws back in place and it worked like a charm! I spent around $20.00 for the replacement screen. If you don't see one right away, keep looking on Ebay, a good deal is bound to pop up!
