My Mrs damaged her camera and the LCD screen doesn't work anymore (the screen is intact). The part is about ?60 I think. It originally cost about ?260, but 4 years ago. Any camera experts know what the lifespan of a camera might be? The model is Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ70.

What I'd first check, not necessarily in this order, are (1) Current Ebay used price => ~?110 (2) Current Ebay, used, for spares, price => ~?35 (3) Any web interchanges matching your perceived problem (3) Web availability of videos and/or manuals on servicing.


The first hit (3) has yielded, https://www.justanswer.co.uk/electronics/8fyv9-lcd-monitor-panasonic-lumix-dmc-tz40-not-working.html, is worth a look.


I'm currently stuck with two Canon Powershot A500/600 series cameras with a defective switch in the SD slot. It's just a matter of a springy metal arm within the side of the slot having become slightly deformed, so that the switch isn't closed when the card goes in. I think I'm going to be have to try to correct it by a little fine prodding or poking, a bit like doing dentistry. I've checked some detailed drawings, but ideally would still like to check its conformation by sight so that I don't mess it about any more. Does anyone by chance have a spare full SD card slot that I could have a look at, probably buy and dissect?

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
