My little camera appears to be dead. I picked it up this morning to take a picture and the LCD screen was completely gray. I tried camera mode, playback mode, menu, display, to no avail. I took out the battery and the SD card but there was no change. I looked in the manual online to find out how to reset it, but it involved the menu so that was out. Ditto a firmware upgrade since I couldn't see what the current version is. Finally I gave in and called Casio support. They said that in order to reset it I have to take out the battery and let it sit for 5 hours. Crazy. So that's what I am doing. But they said it will probably have to be mailed in and repaired, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. My coworker thinks the CCD is dead. On the bright side, it will be covered under the warranty. I didn't expect this because I'd read that the Casio warranty is only 90 days, but it turns out it is really a year. Silver lining...
