Introduction

If the screen on your Vivitar Vivicam T027 isn’t giving you the full picture because it’s scratched, cracked or otherwise damaged, use this guide to replace the 320 x 240 pixel 2.7” TFT LCD Display screen.

Having a clear, fully functional screen helps you take and view the best pictures possible. Don’t let a damaged screen come between you and great pictures.

Before using this guide, gather the tools you will need for the project and ensure you have a clean, clear work area. This will make it easy to keep track of all the parts and pieces you’ll be working with.  Using a small white towel will keep tiny screws from rolling away from you and make them easy to see.

Don’t forget to remove the batteries from the camera before starting!

Any heat required for this? How would I tap into the a/v feed from a digital camera to extend the screen? Data output to the sd card or usb?
