What do you think? Answer below!
I think you can try to fix it by yourself first, buy a lcd replacement from ownta.com,

You can also buy a opening tool from them, then, it will help you to open and replace the lcd. Fix it by yourself can save your money.
Hope this can help you, good luck !
Almost certainly will cost as much to replace screen as it would to buy a whole new camera.
So unless you have some sort of accidental damage insurance just buy a new camera.
I repeat what others have and will say.
Buy a new one.
The cost to have your camera repaired is worth more than a new one.
