To know that the ccd is damaged this is what i want you do do. When you go to upload you photos on the computer, are the photos still over exposed? If the photos are still over exposed then the ccd in your camera is stuffed.
2: If you upload your photos and the over exposed photos are fine then you have an lcd problem
You shpuld try them bith, but i rekon your ccd is damaged.
I dont really know, how you have been treating your camera lately. Have you recently left your camera by the window sill. It may be condensation. But you should go to your contomer support officer and ask him!
Sorry i couldnt help THAT much.

I was taking pictures of cars in a parade last week with my Sony DSC-F717 and something went wrong with the images. The first 270 pictures turned out just fine, but the last five images are covered in White. They are not overexposed, and the image is just fine, but then it looks like a white (nearly opaque) cover is put over the image. Also the image appears to load just fine but before it is completely rendered, the white is added on top of the other, original, image.
I am shooting on the highest resolution, and the battery is fully charged. I pushed the tiny reset button near the memory card in hopes that that would correct some faulty setting. Nothing happened except to erase the internal clock setting.
The white-over-the-image continues for photos, but when I take a video, it looks perfect. I don't know what this white-over-the-image is, but it makes the camera useless for photos.
Can you think of what it might be?
