"Hi,

Try taking a picture (I realize that you cannot “see” in the camera’s LCD display, what you are taking) and download it to a computer.

If there is an image then most likely there is a problem with the LCD display (or perhaps the connection to the display).

Here’s a link to the ifixit Olympus E-PL1 LCD Screen Replacement guide which may be of some help.

Replacement LCD screens are available online. Just search for Olympus E PL1 lcd screen part to get results for suppliers of the part.

If there is a black image then there may be a problem with the camera’s CCD sensor or perhaps the motherboard."
