Next, press the MENU button on the back of the camera and listen for the typical change in sound. Move the selection buttons and listen for the beeps to ensure the options are changing (since you can't see it on screen).

Press the shutter button to make sure the camera can take pictures. Since the screen is not working, just listen for the proper timing and sounds (does the auto focus work? does the red light come on/off on? Does it beep once the auto focus is complete?)
