NX1 screen packing up...
1

Hi all,

Has anyone else experienced an issue with their NX1 screen starts acting strange?

The symptoms:

I turned my camera on an noticed a yellow tinge in the upper right corner of the screen. Re-starting the camera did not clear it, and I thought that after leaving it on for a while, that maybe it would go away. It did not. In fact it got worse, and ended up covering about 30% of the upper right quadrant.

I then packed the camera away for several months, and upon switching it on this morning, I noted a big dark circle-shaped back area where the yellow tinge used to be, in the upper right quadrant, and also an oblong shape in the lower left section. The entire screen now appear washed out with a yellow tinge.

Obviously it's faulty and has gotten progressively worse, but I'm wondering what the cause is and if it can be repaired.

It might be worth noting that the last time I used the camera prior to these issues, was at the beach on a sunny day. Could sand be the culprit here?

Any input is welcome.

FYI The EVF is 100% fine, so the camera is still functional and touch functionality still works.

I found this article which details replacing the touchscreen on an NX1, but I suspect that sourcing the spare part will not be easy.
