Sometimes heat makes LCDs crack from the inside. Did you leave it in the car maybe? Even if you did not I have seen this on other things like PSPs and it should have come with some type of manufacturer's warranty, and they should be able to fix it or replace it for you.
About three days out of the box, I took my Ex-Z750 out of its padded case and the screen was cracked - only on the inside, the surface isn't the least bit dented or scratched. There is a big black splotch, which is visible when the screen is off, and cracks seperate the screen into three parts, only the bottom of which show the image.
I've babied this camera, and it has not been subjected to any shocks, even in the case. I suspect it happened when it was in my pocket, in loose pants and I didn't bump into anything. What the heck? I wrote to Casio and BHPhoto last night, and assume they'll get back to me this week. Does anyone know what might have happened, or have any advice in how I should deal with the seller and manufacturer? This camera cost a week's rent to begin with, and I *was* thrilled with it.
