LCD FAILURE at power up

Canon PowerShot G3: When i set dial to preview the pictures on the card and then open up the LCD door to view the pictures, i hear a slight squeek and see nothing on the LCD screen. At this point, all functions are frozen and the only way to get out of this is to remove the battery and keep trying and the same result. The LCD screen is dead no matter what button i press. Batteries are fully charged. Any ideas?

Thx.
Walt

Hi Walt,
When you say that you hear a squeak, is it an electronic sound or a physical sound coming from the LCD? I am leaning towards saying that there is a loose or busted connection in the camera that is causing this to happen. If you're hearing the LCD physically squeak then I would say there's some sort of damage to the camera and you're probably looking at repairs. If on the other hand it's all electronic, maybe you just need a firmware update or something else fairly simple. This is a tricky one.
