LCD Screen is black on cannon powershot SX420

"Hi @sherbear ,

When you say that you can't take any pictures, do you mean that literally or is it that you just haven't tried, just to see what the result is?

Since you have a menu screen, you should be able to set it up in a basic picture mode.

Then if you can, take a picture and then download it to a computer. (I realize that you cannot see what you are taking).

If the downloaded image is black then most probably you have a faulty CCD sensor or a faulty motherboard or both.

You say that you just bought it. Is it new or used and if used did you know of its' condition before you bought it?"
