Sorry Sony issues recall again
Cyber-shot screens are shot

SONY HAS SAID it has a problem with LCDs on its Cybershot digital cameras.
Screens on eight models sold between 2003 and 2005 can suffer in humid conditions, the Japanese giant said, offering to replace affected models. Users will notice problems displaying images or the camera might not work at all.
If you work for Sony, telling the bosses that you've got another problematic component after *that* battery recall is a job you really don't want. The better news for the firm is that the firm only expects about 4,000 units – half a percent of units shipped -- to have been affected so there will be no material effect on financials.
Still, the damage to the iconic brand caused by dubious QA testing is surely having an unwanted impact. µ
