This is a User Forum, youmhave the first reported broken screeen, so you will need to contact your local BMD Support office for repair.

no they don't, they can't even order the part for me

Ship the camera all the way down to California and loose it for several weeks
or pray that they will sell me a replacement screen

BTW I'm an electronic tech by trade with 30+ years in the field I think I can replace a screen ... if I could get it

Eh. That’s not right. PM me your ticket number.

Update: Checked your ticket. We offered to replace the screen for you but sorry, can’t ship you the replacement part. Turn around time is quick though.

I broke the screen to my Pocket 4K doing that damn Tilta tilt mod- based on what I’m hearing here, I assume Blackmagic isn’t going to offer me the ability to buy a new screen, and of course they aren’t going to install one on my new tilt setup... why can’t you sell a part to me?? I’m going to have to go on AliExpress now and buy some crappy knockoff and just hope it works?

I mean, you didn' t have to tinker with your product and break it in the process? What are you expecting from BM?

Yeah, I definitely didn’t need to tinker with it, I know it’s my fault.
Anyway, Blackmagic has been awesome and it’s been taken care of since I last wrote.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem. Lcd is not working anymore.
I was wondering how Blackmagic helped you.
The camera is highly modded and i suspect the flatcable is broken, wich results in a non functioning screen. On startup i only have backlight but no image on screen.
