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.
