5D Mark iii LCD keeps black

Hi everybody!

Maybe, someone could help me.

Today, I tried to switch my 5D Mark iii on, but the LCD did not work. It stas black. Okay, not totally, because, when I switch to the display, it is a (very very) little bit brighter than when the camera is switched off. So, there seems to be power at the screen. The top lcd works, and the camera also. I can take pictures. Everything works, but the LCD. Does anybody have an idea?

I already took the battery off and in, changes lenses, pushed buttons and so on. Nothing.

Thanks

LCD screens can go bad. Yours did!

Maybe the PCI? Maybe the screen? Maybe a fuse?.... Something else?
