Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1 Shutter seems to be stuck

Hi While I was taking pictures the camera stopped displaying any images on the screen. The Screen and all seems to be working fine but the shutter inside the lense seems to be stuck. I haven't dropped the camera or done anything to that would damage the camera. Any ideas as to how I can get the shutter to open again. Thank you

My display stopped working on my Sony Cyber-shot. The camera is less than 1 year old. Any suggestions? I can't read the menu to fix it since I can't see the options.

Our camera seems to be okay but when i'm attempting to get picture, i can't see any image in LCD, is it the lens?

First try pressing the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. If that doesn't help, try taking a picture with the screen black. Is the picture also black? If so, 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, sometimes with lines, 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.

I have a Sony DSC-W50 Cybershot camera that won't take pictures or videos anymore. It powers up fine and the screen works, but when I hold down the shutter button all the way, it focuses and nothing more.

Sony cyber-shot dsc-n1 screen gone black

If you can, take a good look at your lens. In this case, this is an actual lens of a DSC-N1 in which you can see lines in it. This is not a shutter, it's physically cracked.

This assembly is fairly easy to replace. However, I don't know what Sony would charge for the lens. This is why you can take pictures but everything comes out black. Not sure exactly what this piece does but I do know it has something to do with the transmission of light that goes through the lens.

If this is your case, for sure you will need to replace the lens assembly. Another thing you can try for those of you who do not have a broken lens, is put a flashlight right up against the lens and see if the display shows any light. In any case, this is your problem.

Sony DSC-N1 "capturing". I take pictures and after I hit the button I get a message "capturing" then "processing". This ties up th screen for a while and then comes back on, trying to retrieve the pics, I...

Capturing- means that the image is being registered in the CCD-
Processing means - the processor is dealing with the capture.
Both should take but a scond or so.
If it takes longer and the result is No image.
Then it is iether a cared fault or camera failure
Which?
Try another card is the best thing to do
Take it to a shop and let them have ago rather thasn buy a new card only to find the camera has died,
