Now you get to get repair estimates. Most find repair costs are more than 1/2 a new camera.

The display and the viewfinder are black when the cap is removed. I have checked all the settings. I can record, and playback, but only sound. It is almost as though the cap is over the lense.
Any advice appreciated.
