Hi all,
Doing some house cleaning, I just stumbled upon a broken digital camera of
ours (A Konica Minolta DImage Z2 -- we quite liked it). Some two years ago,
it was dropped from a height of 1 meter (3 ft) on a kitchen floor, and ever
since, it has produced images like this:

I disassembled the camera twice, but couldn't find anything visibly wrong
with it whatsoever; and after reassembly, it still took pictures -- but
only these sort of over-exposed pictures with RGB-like coloured bands all
over.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if anyone could tell me what the cause of
this is? As far as I can see, there are no broken PCB's or connections (in
fact, the camera shows no signs at all of even the slightest physical
damage).
