When I turn on my camera and the light is on which shows it is powered on, nothing appears on my screen when I aim to shoot. I am not in a dark environment, there is nothing on the outside lens, and I have never had this problem before. What can I do to fix this and what could be wrong?
The screen is cracked or water damaged. The screen may need to be replaced.The wires that connect to the screen are faulty or disconnected. Disassemble the camera to reconnect the wires or determine other types of internal issues.
Hi, it’s possible that your screen may be damaged or there’s an internal issue. There’s a replacement guide for this if you’re interested: Canon PowerShot G12 LCD Screen Replacement
It’s a common failure, a mechanical problem on the lens shutter :-(
