Usually fixing the monitor is very expensive, you might better buy a new camera (which you shouldn't give to your baby).
You can still use the damaged camera, with the viewfinder only and without using the menu.

Call Canon & send it in for service. Their techs do a free diagnostic and e-mail you the cost of repair. Then you have 3 choices:
1. Go ahead w/ the repair.
2. Say "no" to the repair, and they'll send it back at no charge.
3. Say "no" to the repair, and ask for an upgrade.
Canon's number is 1-800-828-4040.
Hope that helps.

Call around camera repair places to get a quote for a LCD screen replacement. And then decide from there.
Honestly, I'm guessing it's better to get a new one, after labor and parts it'll cost way too much. But I'm guessing.

You're looking to spend $100-$120 for replacement (including shipping and all that jazz).
It's up to you. Don't know how much it's worth to you, or how much you have to spend on a new one.

Get new one. You can get new canon 5MP camera for $125ish (A series) easily.
