Hello, my LCD screen is not working. One day it was fine, the next day I powered my camera and the LCD screen is only half visible. I appreciate the directions on how to take out/repair LCD screen, though where am I able to purchase a new LCD screen for my PowerShot SX500IS? Many thanks.

Disassembly of SX510HS is exactly the same. No special pry tool is required - it is very easy to remove the cover with your fingernail. Replacement LCD on Aliexpress is 8-12 USD.
