Not too relevant for the cameras, but LCDs hate heat. If we leave a Fluke
multimeter facing upwards in the sun, the display goes dark. So we turn them
over and no problem.
If they do go dark, put them in the freezer and they come back.

I'm not sure of the exact cause, but I've seen many cases of LCD which start
to
lose elements, or simply fade altogether. I suspect it has something to do
with
the "liquid" part of LCD, and possible shock, vibration, or heat? ie: My
Jetta's LCD clock is still fine, but the one in my '88 Westfalia has faded
so
it is no longer readable.
