Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: Can I replace a broken sensor in my Mk 1 with one from a Mk 2 or 3?

Wed, 27 Feb 2019 04:39:48 -0700

The sensor from the Mk 2 has lower noise because it is backside illuminated, so it would be awesome to use it for my repair.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: How to fix scratches in paint and in screen

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 09:25:14 -0700

There are many small scratches in the screen and paint of this camera.

How could I fix the scratches in the paint? (I’m thinking either a car touch up paint, or taping the buttons and screen and spray painting it.) Would one of these work better or should I do something else.

And how could I fix the scratches on the screen? The screen still works, so I wouldn’t have to replace it but is there a way just to polish it out?

Thank You So Much!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: Sony DSC RX100 M2 LCD screen not working

Mon, 14 Jan 2019 22:17:36 -0700

Hello,

I recently purchased a RX100 M2 from eBay. The seller stated the LCD screen needed to be replaced, the camera had been stepped on and shortly after the LCD stopped working. I have replaced the LCD with a new part and the screen does not light up. I also replaced the ribbon cable on the folding screen mount and the LC1110 Video Control Board, thinking they may be bad. After installing a second new LCD screen it still doesn't light up.

Has anyone had a similar problem or knows of a solution?

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: RX100 Mark 4 Acting Erratically (Will not take photos or video)

Sat, 10 Nov 2018 18:30:31 -0700

Had something weird happen to my RX100 M4 last weekend after a small drop (In a case / 2 feet).

When I try to take a picture, the screen goes black and the camera freezes.

Can’t enter video mode. Screen is just black and lens behaves erratically.

Saw some people on DPReview with the exact same symptoms. One guy said he fixed it by applying pressure to the back of the camera as it was a contact issue.

Anyone ever experience this? I’ve taken the camera apart and it appears everything is plugged in. Perhaps I have to replace a component?

It’s out of warranty, so servicing isn’t much of an option.

Here’s a quick video of the problem it’s experiencing:

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: Control Wheel does not work properly

Thu, 02 Aug 2018 08:09:52 -0700

I believe ever since a sudden drop, the control Wheel will only go to the left-handed side.

Ex.) If I turn it counter clockwise it would work properly. If I turn it clockwise, the camera would read it as counterclockwise

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: RX100: LCD/Display not working

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 05:46:02 -0700

After two years of usage, my RX100 MKI does not work any more. Or to be exactly: It still works, i can make pictures, its focusing and saving them on the SD card but the display does not show anything. Not at the moment i push the power button, there is just no sign of life at the screen. I bought a used RX100 to replace the screen but same goes for the other screen. I than connected it to the other RX100 and it is working. So it is not the screen. Do you think it can relate to the power on/off error that is wildely discussed here. Or is that a hint that the main board might be the problem?

Best regards,

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: How to fix viewfinder not staying down?

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 09:17:39 -0700

Camera fell leaving a dent on the top near the flash, as a result the viewfinder will not stay down. This results in having to use the viewfinder as opposed to the back screen when shooting.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100: Dropped camera - not powering on

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 20:01:44 -0700

I dropped the camera without protection on stone floor. A small crack has formed in the plastic on the left side of the camera seen from the screen, and some parts look a little bit skewed but not much. The power isn’t turning on and when I try to charge it, no light is glowing. All mechanical components are operational and the battery looks intact. Any idea what the problem might be and if it is fixable?

Is there something I can do? Shall I open it up and check cable connections? Has anybody come across similar issue?

The flash will not open as the body is slightly bent. How can I open it and try a repair? Am I likely to damage the camera when I do this? The camera works just the flash doesn’t.
