There may be some spelling-errors, english isn't my first language.
I'm sitting with my DSC-f707, and I can't figure out excactly what the problem is and if I can fix it (I know almost nothing about cameras).
About a week ago I was on holiday, and the camera was in by suitcase. I'd wrapped it in a towel to make sure it didn't get striked, since we were travelling by plane.
When I took out the camera later that day and tried to turn it on, the little green light were on for about 5 seconds, and then it turned off again. The screen didn't work either, it was just black, like the camera was still off. I tried to switch to 'finder' at the switch where you can switch from LCD to finder, but that didn't work either. I tried to turn the power on again multiple times, but it kept doing the same thing.
When I got home again the next week, I tried to take the battery and the memory stick out for a couple of minutes, but that made no difference. Then I tried resetting the camera. Now I can turn it on and the little green light doesn't turn off, but the screen and the 'finder' still doesn't work. The only visible difference between on and off, is the green light.
I don't know if the camera has been striked even though I wrapped it in a towel, 'cause I can't think of any other reason. The camera worked before the holiday.
I'd be very happy if someone with more knowledge about this could tell me what and where the problem is, and whether I can fix it myself or not.
