Fujifilm X30: Why is the LCD screen not working?

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 16:58:33 -0700

When I turned the camera on, the screen appeared black. I could tell the camera was working and taking pictures because I could hear the shutter sound and it could still zoom in and out. I've tried turning the camera on and off multiple times, but it still will not turn on. My daughter's 1st birthday is coming up and I really need the camera to take pictures. Please help.

Fujifilm X30: How do I fix a camera that has been dropped in water?

Sat, 27 May 2017 07:34:01 -0700

I was trying to take a picture of my cat while giving her a bath, but she got scared and I dropped the camera into the bath tub. It was only in there for a few seconds, and now it won't turn on. Is there a way to fix it or is it trash?

Fujifilm X30: fuji x30 lens misaligned

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 03:12:42 -0700

Hi,

I had a daylight filter screwed onto the front of my fuji x30 lens. Over time dust got under the filter and onto the lens. But the filter was really locked on tight to the lens and next to impossible to get off. I finally got it off using some channellock pliers. Now when I turn the lens to "OFF" it won't go all the way to OFF, which means the camera won't turn off, and the "Indicator Lamp" blinks orange for about 30 seconds until the camera times out and turns off. The owners maual says; Blinks orange (Slow)

The zoom ring is positioned between ON and OFF. Pictures cannot be taken. (No kidding....)

Is there a way to realign the lens so it actually turns to off? BTW, the camera's focus is still perfect.

PLEASE HELP...

Thank you,

Bob Coulter

The disassembly guide does not include the flash disassembly. Could you provide instructions on removing and replacing the flash pop up mechanism?

Fujifilm X30: Repair CCD - dust behind the sensor filter

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 04:27:14 -0700

Hello!

I have some dust on the sensor, but it is behind the first layer. Seems it is under the filter on the sensor, between the sensor itself and this filter.

Is it possible to change this filter? Where can I buy it?

If not, does anyone know, where to buy a new sensor?

Thank you all!

Fujifilm X30: My fujifilm x30 won't turn on

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 09:01:48 -0700

When it is charging, the LED flashes orange. If I try to turn it on, the LED turns red for a second, the camera turns on (the LCD becames grey) and off in a moment. Then the LED doesn't turn on again. This happens with the battery inserted. Without battery, no LED lights up. What’s the problem and how I can fix it? :) Thanks!

Fujifilm X30: Focus Error and Clicking

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 17:34:57 -0700

My camera will only turn on to a blurry screen and “focus error”. There is also a clicking noise as if the lens is trying to rotate/adjust. I don’t remember dropping it or anything! This came seemingly out of nowhere. Any ideas for a fix?

Fujifilm X30: Replacing LCD display cable

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 15:01:57 -0700

Hello, few days ago the LCD of my camera stopped working. I tried to understand what was going on, and I noted that it depends on the position of the LCD display: when the display is in a precise position, it works normally, otherwise I cannot see a thing (but I can still see the baklight). I followed the ifixit instructions to disassemble the camera (just the step 18), and I found that the thin cable of the LCD display is damaged, it has a cut in the exact point in which it curves (and this explain why in a precise position the display was working).

Is there a way to replace only the LCD cable (hoping that the problem is only that)? Or I have to replace the entire LCD display? The camera is no longer under warranty, so could you please let me know where I can fing spare parts on the internet?

Thank you a lot!
