Shooting mode shows nothing.
Hello,
I just had this issue with my camera (my 15 year old son solved it for me ;-) ).
The viewfinder was active in "record" mode and the LCD was "active" because you could see a little back light but no image. The "playback" mode would let me review pictures in the LCD though so I know it is capable of showing information.
If you push the display key/button a couple of times you can see the picture move from the viewfinder to the LCD and have just a picture and or a picture and information.
So try setting the camera to "record" mode (lens comes out) and then push the "display button" which is on the back of the camera just to the right of the LCD on the lower right side several times and see if the LCD starts to work.
It could be that somehow the display button was pushed by mistake.

LCD will allow me to view pictures that I've taken, but shows only black static in picture or video mode. It isn't the "Display" button -- that just turns off the LCD altogether. When this problem is occurring, I cannot take pictures or video at all, not even with just the viewfinder. I thought for awhile that it was the switch, then that it was temperature-related. Warming the camera in the palm of my hand seemed to solve the problem for a couple of months. Now even that doesn't work.
