    Need a little help or some confirmation.
    My FZ11S has a small annoying problem with the screen. It always starts up fine and runs fine, but every now and then when i move the screen i get a flicker which is almost always followed by one side of the screen going dark, then the whole screen.
    The screen is still 'on' as i can see the windows and operate everything but the lamps have just gone off.
    If i close the screen down and open it again, everything lights up and it never repeats until i turn it off completely. Its not regular, more often than not, it works perfectly.

    Its not subjected to bad treatment and sits on a desk most of the time so if anyone has come across something similar, i'd be interested in some opinions.

    Sounds like a connector or wiring issue, given that it happens when you move the screen.
