Lcd screen does not light up The lcd screen on my Panasonic lumix TZ3 does not light up,it does work as i can just about see a dark image but the image does not light up,i might be wrong but i do not think that it needs a new LCD screen i think my issue here is a lighting problem,any help would be much appreciated.

Most DSLR cameras (like your Canon) don't have a live view - in other words, you can't "see" the image before you capture it. You must use the viewfinder.

SOURCE: Video playback problem on lumix dmc tz3

I don't have a solution to the first part of your dilemma (why it won't playback) but I do have a solution for deleting the file.  On your camera are "hidden" file folders.  When you connect your camera to your computer, you probably only see two folders (that's all I see for my DMC-LZ8).  But there are more, and your undeletable picture/video is in one of these folders.  Find the folder and you'll find the file.  Delete it from your camera using the computer to do the command.  Problem solved.  Okay, so how do you find the hidden folders?  I have a Mac, so my process was this:  1) Connect camera to computer; 2) Select/open camera icon (looks like "volume disk"); 3) From top Finder bar, select File then Find;  4) Select the camera volume to limit your search to the camera (not HD or other external hard drives you may have connected to your computer); 5) Select "Kind" and in the next dropdown button "Folders".  Voila.  Happy searching.  My hidden "undeletable" video files were in a folder called "100_PANA".  I selected them then moved them to the Trash.  Be sure to eject your camera properly (don't just turn it off or disconnect it).
Good luck.  I hope this helps.
PS - My theory is that this occurred after an upload to my computer got unexpectedly disconnected before everything finished loading or else the camera got disconnected from the computer incorrectly even if the upload had already finished (see above comment to eject camera properly).  In either case, the blank/black screen, unviewable but "there" on the camera taking up memory photos/videos problem happened to me, too.  The above actions resolved it for me.

SOURCE: LCD screen too dark.

I'm not sure what I did but I solve the problem.I open up the camera to see if backlight is unplugged,but everything was ok.In mean time I press I think two buttons at the same time PWR LCD button and main shoot button.Now I'm not so sure and I'm afraid to try it again to make it bad again.So you guys who still have a problem try and let me now if there was a problem.Or it have to have something with screws when I was screwing and unscrewing the camera.Sorry for my bad english

SOURCE: How do you unlock the memory card on the Panasonic

Hi,
Make sure the write protect lock is off by taking the card out of the camera, face the card towards you, look for a small white tab on the left hand side of the card, to unlock it push the tab down, it will be at the side of the card like this .

Hope this helps.


Good luck
