Has anyone encountered such a problem before or knows a solution ?
I think Mark Jerling's advice is a good one. But you could also have a look at the contacts in the battery compartment. If you take out the battery then all segments are on as well? It means it got stuck in a kind of reset mode of the display. Removing the battery and putting a fresh one in or putting fresh AA's in might solve the problem. As it is a classic camera
cleaning the contacts is not a bad idea as it has seen the sunlight outdoors in all that time, or maybe have been in a humid air. I own two SFX's one of the the n version. If you take out the battery the display should be blank.
