SOURCE: LCD screen is blank and pictures are also blank

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).

To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

SOURCE: canon powershot a590 IS lcd screen

I had this same problem. Once I got over about 1200 pictures, the screen just turned black, and the only setting that would work where I could see the lcd screen was the easy setting. I had read somewhere that this was due to the amount of pictures the camera had "counted", even if those pictures had been downloaded and erased from the camera. So I decided to reset the camera. Go to the tools list in the menu, scroll down to "reset all", and when it prompts if you want to "reset settings to default" click ok. This worked for me, and all of my settings - sunset, landscape, etc. - parameters in any of the settings (shutter speed, lighting, etc.) those will have to be reset.

SOURCE: Can't download. Get "Communication Error" message on Canon A590

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Lcd screen blank ,can view pictures AS590

Hello

Thank you for using FixYa for your problem

Always check the batteries first but if is it still giving the same fault, your camera is faulty.
It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

Please rate our solutions and if you still have problems please call back for more ideas to help you

Thanks

I dropped my canon powershot on vacation, now when I take a picture it is all white what can i do?

Do you have a warranty? It sounds like you may have broken the lens or the LCD screen, Connect your SD card to your PC and see if the pictures are there, As the camera may still work, But the LCD screen may not work. If you do that, You may need to have it repaired.

My 9-year-old son ''cleaned'' the Canon powershot a590 in the sink. Now, when I turn it on, I get a white screen. The camera clicks, but no picture appears on the screen or aon the card.

Not much you can really do here, consider the camera unservicable.

Only thing, is make sure the camera is completely dry, you will need to open it up and use a hair dryer to remove any remaining water.

My a590 digital camera has lines on the lcd display after it banged on the counter

Hi There, If your screen still lights up, the LCD panel is probably cracked. Take to shop for estimate: Around $120.00 for repair.
