There's a good possibilty that your mode switch is broken. Same thing happened to my Z6. I was able to source replacement switches, and can replace them.
Next to the on/off switch there is a lever with three colored inidicators just above.
the green is the edit view...you can see the pictures/images from the memory card you have previously taken. the middle red is the lcd viewfinder option. This allows you to point the camera at your desired photo target and view the image in the lcd as you would normally do in the eyepiece view...which happens to be the third colored indicator...when switched to this one you can see the image you wish to take a picture of by looking thru the eyepiece above the lcd screen.

It could be that you have it set for EVF which means that you are using the tiny view finder instead of the LCD screen? It should have a button close to the view finder labeled EVF/LCD, you can alternate between the LCD screen or the tiny viewfinder? This function if mainly to conserve battery power or if you are out in the sun and cannot frame a shot and so you use the view finder like the old cameras, hope this might help you?
Many cameras that have view finders do not support use of the LCD display to compose or frame a picture. This is generally to conserve battery life of the camera. Most of these cameras limit how long a picture is displayed on the screen to 10 or 15 seconds, immediately after taking for the very same reason.
The exception would be a camera that lacks a view finder - or has a menu item that allows the user to compose the picture on the LCD in addition to the viewfinder. Some manufacturers call this "live view". Check your camera manual to see if it is supported. If so, be sure to buy extra batteries!
the connection between the lcd and the main board is defective, the video connector is broken, try to use tv connection to check if you get a picture displayed on your tv screen so you need to repair your lcd. if you don't see any picture it's main board problem service is required.
thanks.
Does the EVF work? The small view finder above the LCD screen. You can switch to it using the EVF/LCD button on the right side above the main display. If it is okay then you'll likely need a replacement LCD.
If camcorder shows old recorded tapes picture with correct colors in LCD but does not show live view in camera mode to record new movie then its ccd imager chip failure.
And if camcoder shows live view and old recorded tapes in its eye piece view finder but does not show any thing in LCD the its problem of broekn/ cracked flexible wire between lcd board and main board of camcorder.
Let me know your finding with bit detail to provide you solution/ helpful info.
Your camera works just like a film camera SLR,. You use the eyepiece
to frame and focus your picture. The LCD screen is for reviewing
pictures taken or menu operations. You cannot preview a shot on screen before it is taken with the camera.
The lcd screen is not working,moving the switch next to the on/off button is not causing the screen not to work.You can hear the beeps when switching,so that is ok.Is there an on/off switch for the lcd that is not in the manual.thanks
