HP 318 Digital Camera - dark screen?

polybear

My partner has a Hewlett Packard 318 Digital Camera; however on getting it out of the drawer (it hasn't been used for a while) and putting new duracell batteries in it she found that the screen is very dark, so seeing what picture you've taken is difficult. I've had a look at it - it's very basic so there desn't appear to be anything like a brightness control for the screen etc. I've also tried another set of (rechargeable) batteries. Any ideas please? Thanks.

It sounds like the light behind the screen has failed. an LCD works with a panel of colour changing dots and a light behind them do you can see whats displayed.

Not sure what you can do really other than contact either the shop you bouht it from or contact HP direct if it is still under warrenty they should repair it.
