Thanks for this Liz.

Removing the broken LCD from my Nikon D5100 seems like something I can do now!

I am unsure ?how to do the soldering bit to attach the new LCD, ?where to attach the wires...

Any help is welcome

I was able to fix it, thanks to you guys. But the colors that came on the, LCD are weird. At least I can see the image.

It’s very possible that applying the soldering iron to the board, while still attached to the back, caused the LCD to lose its color alignment and darken the display. I made the same mistake.

Franky -

I am having trouble reconnecting the 16-pin cable to the circuit board. Do you have any tips?
