Canon M50: My screen is pitch black, but when I put a direct light, its alive

I have a Canon M50, but the screen is completely black. However, when I shine a light on it, I can see live visuals. I followed some video tutorials and even tried opening the camera to check for any unplugged ribbon cables, but the screen is still black. What should I do?

Canon PowerShot G7: Camera no longer turning on

Wed, 27 May 2026 16:59:33 -0700

my friend took her Canon Powershot G7 to a repair shop as her camera isn’t turning on anymore. They told her that there’s no issue with the battery and it is probably an electrical problem. However, since the camera is old now, he won’t do the repair. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience in sending their Cameras to be repaired to individuals who are experienced in repairing older canon cameras (preferably somewhere in Europe)

Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS: Canon Lens Will Not Retract

Mon, 25 May 2026 13:43:12 -0700

For context, my friend gave me this ixus 95 (Sd1200) camera to keep, and it said to replace the battery so i charged it up, and it worked fine. When i tried to use the autofocus function, since it was still blurry, it wouldn't work, so i kept trying and eventually the camera effectively crashed, leaving the lens extended, now every time i power it on, it does a couple clicking noises then hands me a lens error. I was looking at the lens and the gap between the lens itself and the casing it a little uneven. I want to know if there is anyway to fix it. (for added context, my friend had it in their room for a while and its been a while since they tried turning it on.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi: Was slightly working now not at all.

Thu, 14 May 2026 23:06:13 -0700

I have just got this camera from Facebook marketplace.

When I met with the seller, upon powering it on, briefly the camera settings (such as ISO and Shutter Speed) could be seen in the viewfinder, however the LCD stayed black. The flash too would work during this time.

Everything that was working:

Camera Settings in the viewfinder
Flash would actuate, not actually flash
Auto-focus

Things that weren't working:

Camera mirror
LCD

I followed the guide to replace the LCD but instead of replacing it, I unplugged and replugged the screen. When assembling it all again, I now have nothing showing, in the viewfinder or LCD. The flash is now no longer working.

Everything now not working:

Flash Actuation
Camera Settings
Auto-focus maybe??
Everything that wasn't working originally

I should also mention I have tested that the lens recieves power with a multimeter. I also checked the LCD and it recieves ~4.5V on what I assume is the main power line for it, other components recieve 3.3V and 1.8V. I have checked the battery too and am getting 7.4V+.

I am not too sure where to look now and would like some pointers on where to look next. In the meantime, I will probably end up tracing all the circuits or checking the viewfinder display to find why that stopped working.

Updated: Things Checked/Done:

Unplugged and replugged all cables on the front panel.
Checked every capacitor/volatile component.
Unplugged and replugged all cables to the motherboard, during this found that the on/off switch ribbon was almost out.
Manually actuated the flash and mirror gearboxes, they reset (and scared me) when reassembled and powered on.
Tried two different batteries, both fully charged.
Tried with and without SD card.

Thank you for your time.
