My screen is also blank except for menu items. If I push in fairly hard on the top edge of LCD screen a image is seen and a picture can be taken. Not practical, 5 months old, $100 + for them to look at it. I will never buy Panasonic anything again.
I had the same problem. So I figured I'd take it apart and see what was loose. I removed all the screws around the outside and pulled the back cover off. There is a ribbon connector at the top with a locking cover. The cover was unlocked. I re-seated the ribbon connector and closed the lock and it works now. Let me know if you need more details.

If you can play back captured images without any problem then your camera has a faulty CCD sensor. If you can get hold of a new CCD sensor block for this model somehow then you can install it yourself. Otherwise camera has to go to your Nikon agent.
This is because your problem isnt the LCD screen viewer; if you take pics and transfer at pc... the same condition appears when you transfer this pics at PC ?
If yes, and the problem
continue, could be the CCD image sensor go to bad;
in both cases this isn't a job that you could solve yourself; this wrong
include distorted
images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures,
and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash
card. I
suggest check THIS LINK for additional details in this previous solutions for an Defective
CCD (Charge Coupled
Device) and next contact your Sony service. Istrongly suggest(taking intoconsiderationthe age of yourcamera) to

Hi, It is problem of lcd screen that will be replaced to get correct picture view. Local camera repair shop will replace it or if you have expertise then can replace lcd screen by yourself. Let me know if you need part number of lcd screen for DSC-S930 camera. Thanks.
If camera shows Menu item or any on-screen display in LCD but no live view to take picture then it can be either aperture problem or defective ccd imager. And if you do not see any display icon in LCD then of course LCD section is bad or LCD back light is Off for some reason. Try to see faint image in LCD if it is totally blank by pointing good amount of light with flash light or some thing.
I have a sony cybershot DSC-S650, the LCD was very dark and could not
see anything except if I pointed it at a bright object, everything else
worked ok. I could take pictures but could barely see them in playback
as well.
I took it to Sony authorised repair outlet and was told
the CCD was damaged, they charged me USD $55 to repair it (in Quito,
Ecuador)
This is a CCD sensor problem ( see enclosed image of one taken out of a Cannon camera with similar specs to yours ). Contact Fuji agent as this is repaired under warranty .
Sure this is a clear case of faulty CCD sensor if you can play back captured images ok. Parts and labor will set you back by +- $ 200 if you have it done professionally.
