My camera (a630) has a blank real time display - only symbols of settings,etc. Can't view pictures taken either. Everything else seems to be fine.

I'm thinking my son changed a setting when he borrowed it. I've used it and loved it for years. But I can't seem to take pictures. No display and no viewing of shots taken. New batteries. Returned camera to default settings. Still no display. The camera will flash as if taking a picture.

Could he have dropped it? It sounds like a failed CCD since you didn't get an image after resetting the camera. I'd send it it for a repair estimate and see what Canon says. At least you'll know what the problem is and how much it would cost to repair it.

But keep this in mind. If it does require repair, it may cost more than it's worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
