MV730i Blank Screen

[nicki1]

Hello! 
I’ve found my family’s old camcorder the Cannon MV730i and have been watching back old tapes! 
The LCD screen works perfectly, as do all the buttons. 
I am just not able to get the actual camera to work. Even looking through the view finder everything is blank, the screen shows a little bit of white on the left side, but is dark otherwise. I’m wondering if something within the camera is stuck and blocking the view? And yes the lens is off 😂. Any help would be appreciated:)
