On my Nikon S6, after downloading my pictures to my Mac, the screen on my camera is now black, when I try to take pictures (with black screen) the shutter seems slow. I can vew setup mode screens and menu screens, but no pictures now. What can I do?

If you want to follow my way to try fixing it yourself, keep reading and do it at your own risk. You paid several hundread dollars for the camera and I just paid $20 for it. Therefore, I tried everything I can to make it work, even if I had to open the camera body to play with the inside. Fortunately, it was not neccessary to take it apart.
Once again, AT YOUR OWN RISK to follow my way to get back your real time image screen. Read the following steps once and make sure you understand before action.
(1) Load your camera with a freashly recharged battery. (2) Switch on to see if it's working and still without the real time screen. (3) Switch it off, and hold it tight in you palm with the LCD facing inward. (4) Now, with you palm up, you should be able to see the model name 'CoolPix S6' under the lens and the flash. (5) While holding the camera and aiming at the 'CoolPix S6', raise your other hand with the fist next to your ear. (6) Match the aim as describe in(4) to the aim of your elbow 's protruded part and make pratice moves. Yes, you'are going to smack it to your elbow. (7) When you are ready, try first not to hit your elbow too hard once. (8) Switch the camera on to check. If you have the 'Screen' now, congratulation! If not, repeat (4) to (8) but with a stronger impact Force. You might have to try more times until your elbow could not take the sore.
I got mine fixed by performing the above steps just once, but I started at a medium impact force. Before this fix, I tried to whack it on both sides, the top and the bottom to my knee cap.
Why I chose knee cap and elbow? They hurt if you strike too hard. The target is to apply enough impact force to shake but not break the parts inside the camera.

hi... I hit the camera with my hand about 10 times, the screen came back.
When you hit the camera, be careful do not hit LCD or any fragile part,
just hit main body. It does hurt your hand though.
Wired camera, I would not buy any nikon from now on. Rubbish!
All you have to do is lay your camera with the LCD side down, make sure its on a soft surface like a carpet or a pillow. Once you have it laying down, put a peice or two of newspaper, or any paper, on top of the camera. and then hit it a few times with something. like a brush or anything hard like that. it worked for me. :) good luck.

You should be able to turn the screen on while taking pictures so that you can see what is going on a little easier.
Here is a link to the manual where you can find where in the menu to turn the LCD on.
I tried to get the manual for myself so that I could give you page numbers and such, but it requires that i give a serial number number off the camera, so be sure to have your camera handy when you do this.
