If you can find a dead one on ebay that has a good screen you might be able
to fix it yourself, but that's not the way to bet. As far as getting it
fixed goes, give Olympus a call--odds are that it will cost you more than
replacement value but they may surprise you.
my thoughts as well, still I've sent some emails.....I wonder if it
happens a lot.
The lens gets a lens cap, but there is nothing to protect the LCD
screen.
