How to change LCD screen for Panasonic DMC-TZ1
The LCD screen comes as a replacement kit when you order the kit (part number VYK1V57KIT) from Panasonic. http://www.pstc.panasonic.com/Epartr/PartsListChoice.asp
Her is the kit, an instruction is included.
Take the battery out.
Take off the screws as shown on Figure 2, 3 & 4.
Open the back cover.
Unlock the connectors; unplug the LCD backlight cable and the data cable.
Use a flat screwdriver slowly to pry the broken LCD up from the back cover.
The LCD shield might be broken when you lift it up. It is ok in this case because the replacement kit included the shield.
But if you buy an OEM LCD screen, maybe there is not backlight and other things with together. You must be careful, don’t break any otherthings if you only get the LCD sheet.
Peel off the protection of the new LCD.
Peel off one separator from the LCD tape(double-sided tape) and tape on the LCD shield.
Peel off another separator. Put the LCD on the back cover. Once the LCD is in the right position, slightly press the LCD to ensure it is taped on the back cover properly.
Put on the LCD barrier (1).
Fold the backlight cable on the white line (2).
Now plug and lock the LCD data and backlight cables. Close the back cover. Insert the battery and test.
Is it working well?
Ok, put back the screws and finish the work.
Do you have a video for the replacement of the LCD on a DMC-TZ5. Is the part you have listed the same for the TZ1 and the TZ5? My concern is ordering a part that is not compatible.
Thanks,

Sorry, I don’t have video for DMC-TZ5.
There are two LCD part numbers for this model, VYK2M54 and VYK3E50.

search by model: DMC-TZ5. then Ctrl+F, search LCD DISPLAY on the part list.
My DMC-TZ5 got wet in rain and the lcd stopped working, though I am still able to take perfect pictures with the camera. I tried replacing the lcd as suggested. Now the lcd displays images but everything is displayed in only green color. No other colors are displayed. Could you please tell me what the problem might be ??
Thank You.

Try to clean the LCD cable connector again. When you plug in the cable back, ensure you reach the end of the connector and lock it properly. Good luck.
Thanks for the pictorial instructions. Do you know where I can a replacement little retention clip (or whatever it is called) to secure the LCD cable to the board? Mine crumbled to bits on me trying to get the cable loose. The ones listed in picture F6. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the clip is not a separated part, it’s not available on Panasonic site. If it’s broken to only two pieces you still can insert them together in the connector to lock the cable and put a piece tape to seal it. I did that before and it worked. Try it, good luck.
Does the LCD on a DMC-TZ3 fit a DMC-TZ5? I have a damaged TZ# and am thing about replacing it with a DMC-TZ5. I think the TZ3’s LCD is OK and there are some TZ5s on ebay that only need the LCD replaced.

The LCD of TZ3 doesn’t fit TZ5
Hi, would this guide also work for a DMC-TZ5 Camera?
