Exclamation Please Help! Digital Camera LCD!

Hey I need help with my digital camera...
The LCD is Broken and I cant use 75% of the features it has to offer.
I wonder if you guys have any place that can repair this problem.

The Camera is a TEKXON TX410 It's a 4 Mega Pixel camera.

I hope you guys can help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance..

Your best bet is probably the manufacturer. If it is still under warranty then they may fix it for free. If not, you will have to pay.

I hate to chew on you, but when you buy something that's from a "no name" company off Ebay, you are taking a big chance.

Thats what I want to know.
Well I emailed the Tech support guy and now I sent the camera in today.
I hope they fix the problem. I really loved that camera. It was a Digital camera it recorded videos with audio and it acted as a webcam also.

Are theyre any similar cameras out in the market?

There are many name brand cameras that do that. In fact, most will do that. It's a good idea, if you have to buy another camera, to go with a well known brand such as Panasonic, Minolta, Nikon, or Cannon.

Well I have a Panasonic Lumix 2.0 megapixel camera. I got it a couple years ago at Wal-Mart for $100. It was a $300 camera when I bought it. It takes excellent pictures. HERE are some pictures I have taken with it. I don't know what current models to recommend.
