Camera has worked great but recently started having problems with the display. If I push the display button SOMETIMES I will get a display and be able to take a photo. Otherwise, the screen is black. I can review old pics but can't take new ones.

The same thing is happening to me--I can look at old pictures, but the screen is black when I try to take new ones. It started out as black stipes on the occassional picture, then on every picture. Now I don't get anything.

I can view old photos on the screen fine but any new ones are black.

Hi guys. If an LZ1/2 camera has a black screen, the most common problem is that the flex cable that comes from the CCD is loose in its connector. It is a simple problem to solve. I normally make shure the flex is fully inserted before locking the clip and then I use a small amount of contact adhesive to hold the clip on either side.

hi there guys, if the screen is black and the camera takes black pictures, then you should look if you are getting a on screen display on camera mode. if you are then i would say one of two things, either the shutter is not opening or the ccd( electronic imaging device) is not functioning. to check the shutter you should look into the lenses centre part and check for movement from the shutter to see if it is opening.
