Hi Adam, im hoping you might be able to shed some light on this subject. My camera screen is black. Although the camera turns on, flash works, the shutter clicks as though a picture is being taken, screen is black and when you click it it appears to take a black picture. This camera is fairly new, probably not within wauranty though but i can see only 107 pictures taken, probably a few more than that, that we deleted but - light use. Does the LCD screen commonly burn out in this model camera to your knowledge. Thank you for your help. Melinda Rhodes
Melinda Rhodes you want to try and download those pictures to a computer and see if they are all black. If so, it is not necessarily your LCD. If that would be the only thing that has failed, your pictures would still come out properly. If those images are all black it is possible that you are having issues with the CCD sensor or the lens shutter itself.
I have a similar issue with a Nikon Coolpix AW100 - black screen with icons showing. The screen does show menu functions and previous pix/video but not live video or new pix. Flash works too. This happened while taking pics. 3 good ones then boom, black screen. Almost like I hit some strange button combination. The camera has been great before this. Really hoping someone has a fix / hack for this.
