OK, definitely do the reset and see how you go. If you deliberately already made changes you may inadvertently have locked something out. Let's see how that goes and let me know.
If you consider one of the posts to have helped you to get things sorted, and don't want to keep getting posts, please select the appropriate post as a resolution.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I have two R6 units so I hope I can help. First, have you been through the menu system and configured the LCD screen for using touch operation?

Hello, Tove!
Have you tried toggling (pressing repeatedly) the info button? One of the options is a blank screen, so that may be where you are.

I think your right, Trevor. I missed the meaning of the OP... My bad.

I have this camera lock button on the left corner of my screen, but I am not able to unlock the lock button. And I cant find the setting to change it😔

Go into the menu system, using the menu button beside the LCD screen, to bring up the menu system.
Once in there tap the Q button to move from one group to another.
Within a group, use the joystick to move between menu sets.
I don't know if you have experience with cameras before, but they do not work like cell phones, they have a different interface. If you aren't sure, use the manual to follow - it has all the information you are asking for. You can download a PDF copy of that from the Canon support site via this link
If you prefer, there is a host of videos on You Tube to give an overview of the camera and set-up, you can find the list here.

I also have the R6, so just behind the shutter button and the main wheel, there is a physical "Lock" button. Just tap that and it will unlock your settings so they can be changed. But, on mine, the lock indicator is in the upper right of my rear LCD.

I have had canon cameras for years, my last camera was 90D. I have used the LCD screen on my 90 D without any problems. I got my R6 yesterday and my LCD screen is not working. I have been looking into the manual, but no help, I have searched online and been on YouTube trying to figure out how to make it work. This forum was my last attempt to get help 😔
