LCD Problem
About a month ago i posted that my LCD is dead…..I ordered a new LCD assembly, just got it today and installed it….
Still nothing.
Is there any possible way to turn the LCD off (maybe i did this on accident)…..or maybe there’s something else i did wrong…
anyone with any knowledge please help!!

There is a brightness adjustment in the menu settings. You might check that out. (Page 104 in the EX-1 manual)

I don’t know how the camera knows when the LCD is swung out/open or not, but perhaps there’s a switch that tells it so (and turns on the LCD). And that switch could be the source of your problem. I didn’t see anything on the parts diagrams so you’ll probably have to call Sony ServicesPLUS and ask ’em.

If the LCD was swung all the way open and you can still see an image in the eye-piece then it could very well be that switch.

Sony ServicePlus….You wouldn’t happen to have a number for them would you?

1-800-538-7550 is the parts number, they have lots of different contact numbers on that site for different reasons. My suggestion is to call the parts guy and have him figure out how that LCD panel is activated when swung out. From there maybe you’ll have to get transferred to service if you can’t perform the repair yourself.
In my experience, some parts do NOT appear on Sony’s schematics. I ran into that when one of our part-timers let one of our EX cameras (EX1) do a backflip off the tripod last month, shattering the EVF on the back of the camera. Some of the guts I needed to make the repairs did not appear on the parts diagram. A quick call to Sony had the right part number for me in less than five minutes. Then they put out a service bulletin (which showed up in my email that afternoon) to let people know of the part number.
