CCD FAILURE !
Just Call Nikon they will do it FREE OF CHARGE ! ask them about BAD CCD !
it is a known manufac fault and all are doing it FREE !
Pls rate me WELL
Interesting...I just called Nikon service, I also have the black screen problem with Coolpix S1. I didn't mention CCD Failure, as I didn't see this post until now. She, the service rep told me that they have not received even one complaint on black screen issue with this camera. If I want them to repair it, send it in and it will cost anywhere between $87 and $117 !!

SOURCE: Blank Screen and faulty shutter blades
I found out the hard way that you should never use alkaline batteries in a Digital Camera. I thought my camera had a fundamental flaw (power kept going off whenever I tried to take a photo or record a video and the shutter blades half closed) even though it was only 2 months old. I nearly wrote it off but all along the problem was that I was using alkaline batteries, which incidentally were enclosed with the camera in the box!! Once I switched to NiMH (Nickel) batteries the camera worked fine and the fault completely vanished! These NiMH batteries are avaiable in most electrical shops i.e currys/comet in the UK. They must be charged before use. They are more expensive than alkaline batteries (£8-£9 for 4) but as they are rechargable they last a long time.

Format the card. I have same problem with mine ---requires a new shutter assembly.$40.00 item and they want $300.00 to fix it at Henry`s cameras. Ouch .Better to buy a new camera.

It prolly took a bump at some point or has crud inside...try cleaning it GENTLY with alcohol NOT WATER.

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.
