Morning
Not sure if anyone on here might be able to assist . I unfortunately managed to drop my lovely little Panasonic friend on holiday . It might be insured, about to try to claim, but of course will be inevitable excess
The value is about 250 I think it's about 6 yrs old - excellent it is too.
Having googled a bit I think it's probably just the back screen.
Does anyone have any thoughts on if it's worthwhile and how to find a trusted repairer . Last time I had a camera problem with was a Sony camera and the quote from Sony was ridiculous so I binned and bought this.
I know it won't be a diy job
Thanks for your help . I m pretty gutted

Not DIY?
There are screens for several Panasonic Lumix models on eBay (most from China which means 2-4 weeks delivery but they are cheap) and Youtube will probably show the steps to replace it.
If it's 6 years old though you may be tempted by an updated model anyway. Depends on your wallet.0 -
We broke the screen on our Lumix last year (slammed the glove compartment in the car!).
We got a replacement screen off ebay and followed a diy replacement video on YouTube.
All fixed and sorted in less than an hour.0 -
A backstreet or market stall phone repair guy might take it on, they'd probably charge parts + £20 labour.0
