T5i black screen

Kimmy_a72 — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 02:45:18 GMT

My camera was fine one day; then the next time I used it, there is an issue. When I turn it on, it says senor cleaning, then the screen goes black. If I press the ISO button, the menu won't come up. I have to press Info twice then Q to get it to come up. If I take a picture, it will not do an image review. I've checked the menu option for image review and it is turned on for two seconds as it's always been. Has anyone dealt with this? I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hi Kimmy_a72,

The camera can show a few different displays and one of them is a blank screen. If the camera got switched to that screen it would act similar to what you are describing. You can check that by turning on the camera and repeatedly press the Info button. Each time you press the Info button the camera will cycle to the next display type it can show. When you see the one you prefer stop pressing the button and the camera will remember the screen you left it on. When the camera is set to the blank display it will not playback photos, but when it is set to one of the displays that shows information your photos should be played back after you take them.

If the LCD is going blank without pressing a button that is a sign the LCD is malfunctioning. The Info button is the only one that can make the rear LCD blank. In that case we would recommend sending the camera in for repair.

" In that case we would recommend sending the camera in for repair."

The T5i is still a serviceable model?

Looks like it based on the Canon service request page.

Thanks everyone. It must be a malfunction. Nothing I’ve tried to do has made a difference. I’ll be contacting Canon to see if it can be fixed.
