My friend has somehow managed to damage the display of his Nikon S5100 digital camera :D. I still don't know if the display is broken, or just not working.

How much will it cost to repair/replace the display?

Better call Nikon service center. If they charge heavy, try repairing LCD screen yourself with the help of some online sites or buy a new camera.

^^ I just googled.

It seems like it may cost high enough for you to think of buying a new camera.

After you fixed the screen, please let us know how much it costed you.
