The LCD screen on my 300D Canon Digital Rebel went dark last night. Any thoughts on what caused this and if I can fix it.

Is this common; can I fix it or does it need to be sent into a repair place? It was working just fine and then when I replaced the battery, it went black. No, this was not a new battery but one I have had for about a year and is rechargable. Yes, the battery is good. Actually I can still take photos and download them to the computer to see them but can not access the camera menu, camera info, etc . because there is only a black screen where the LCD info should be.

Jan,

I have not seen this issue on either of the Canon dSLRs that I have. This sounds like a faulty LCD screen. You can take this to a local shop like a Ritz Camera to be sent out for repair. Have them give an estimate before you do though. These repairs can sometimes run up to and over $300, so make sure its worth it to you. Another way to find an authorized repair shop is to use the Canon site to find an authorized repair location. You can also arrange a repair through Canon. Good luck.

Andrew
