DSC W80 Black Display and Black Photos (by 10 users)
The camera turns on fine, but the display is pure black. Then when I try taking photos, they turn out black. I go to the "view photos" screen and the older ones I can see fine, but the ones that I took after later, with the black display, are just black.

I have the same issue - there's a black screen when I turn the camera on, so only way to see what I'm shooting is through the viewfinder. No point though as the picture comes out black anyway. It's strange because one day the camera was working fine, the next it was black. I've only had it 7 months so it's really annoying that it appears to be broke already. I can't seem to find any support on the Sony website for this problem but as there seems to be numerous people on this site who are suffering from the same thing it must be a widespread problem.

Same problem-mostly black screen (I can see part of the picture) and that's the way it develops! Was hoping for an answer-looks like I need a new camera. UGGH!

Yup. Same problem here. Everything appears to be functioning except the image is pure black. I can even still easily upload all my new "black" pictures to my pc through the cradle, or check out my memory cards separately to view all the solid black pics.
I did however notice that this happened soon after I tried to take some movies. I couldn't get the movies off of it, because they weren't showing up. I really think it may be a memory issue, as my Treo 650 had a similar problem once, which was corrected when I was finally able to dump off some movie clip files. Anyone else notice this problem soon after recording with the filmstrip option?
Mine is older, a DSC-T1 which we've had for close to four years. I've LOVED this camera and took tons of great pictures with it. But now, I guess if I can't find any solution on my own, I may have to pay some bucks to have it repaired or replace it. Boo hoo! If anyone figures anything out, I hope we can all get this solved!

I have a Sony cyber-shot DSC-T1 camera. When turn on, the screen the display is blank, it seems turn on normal. I tried to correct the problem by changing the settings to all options but none solves it.

Same as above...what you are trying to shoot at, is pitch black...you can see the little items (like battery life, etc), but the "picture" is black!
