exact same problem. The screen is black and when i try to record, it only records audio and only shows audio in the lcd screen. When I play back a previously recorded tape it plays just fine on the screen though.

If you can play back ok but cannot record then your CCD sensor is faulty: replace CCD block.

I can't think of much. Perhaps you pressed the button, to change the view from monitor display, to extra view finder display?
Try pressing that again.
I don't thin it has anything to do with the brightness settings of the screen.

Off lens,view finder is not workink

The view finder is the little window on the top left of the camera. If you want to use the display as a view finder, you have to press the button with the camera logo. It is called the life view mode. you use the same button to switch off the display. Be aware using the display, will drain the batteries quicker. Somewhat faster then with modern cameras.
see page 19 of the manual.

The problem i m having with my camcorder is when i want to record film screen goes blank but i can watch my previous recorded videos

Look in the view finder when recording instead of the screen. if you see the image there then the unit is probably set to look through there. Many of the new units dont' have a full view finder to lens item they actually have a small lcd screen inside the view finder. Check your options for recording.

Also if the view finder is tilted you need to close that before usign the lcd.

The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder. It will appear in the

viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position,

and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully
extended.

I Have a SONY Handy cam model CCD TRV 408 E. The problem I am facing is that I cannot see any thing from the view finder when in the camera mode. However when the LCD screen is opened I can see normally...

Fixya does not offer a repair service for any equipment. Have you checked that there is not a menu setting that you have overlooked? The manual may be helpful in this.

Sony DCR-HC18E, the backlight on the LCD screen will not light up, it does record but you can't see what you are recording and can hardly see the on screen function / menus. Pressing the backlit buttons...

Hi,
If you close lcd screen in its position, do you see image in eye piece (view finder) ?
If yes, then replace flexible ribbon connecting wire between camera board and lcd board to get picture in lcd screen.
Let me know if you need part number of flexible ribbon wire.
Thanks.

How do I switch from the view finder to the lcd monitor on my canon rebel xsi

You must be in P, Tv, Av, M, or the A-DEP modes.

Enable Live View in the camera’s Menu.
On the second set-up menu screen go to “Live View function settings” then "Live View Shoot"-> enable.
After this all you need to do is press the Set button.

Camera mode recording/displaying right

what is the model number? if it's 10 years or older you are most likely dealing with bad surface mounted capacitors.

at the back of the camera next to the view finder (bottom right hand corner) is a button and icon marked SEL. pressing this button toggles the lens image from the view finder to the lcd screen and back again. IF neither view is available then I suspect your camera needs some TLC at a repair shop. hope this helps.
