The screen allows users to view pictures, videos, and menus. It is a delicate part of the camera that may need to be replaced if nothing is displayed or if the camera powers up, but doesn't allow the user to record or access menus.
Replacing the screen of the DCR-SR42 is a simple procedure that will take no more than 40 minutes. However, the user should be careful when disassembling the camera in order to avoid damaging the flex cable or any other internal components of the camera. The user should also ensure that the battery is disconnected from the camera at least an hour before disassembly is attempted, since capacitors inside the camera can remain charged with electricity some time after the battery is removed. It is necessary to allow capacitors to discharge to prevent injury to the user or damage to the camera.
For problems pertaining to the LCD screen, please refer to the Sony Handycam DCR SR-42 Troubleshooting Guide
