EOS R LCD Screen Responsive but Not Displaying Anything

Hello there! 

New to the community, but I'm having troubles with an EOS R I just picked up. 

Here are the symptoms:

  • Nothing displays on the LCD
  • Sounds when the display is touched
  • Viewfinder is switching correctly when putting my eye up to it

The camera is set to auto display in the display settings and it is switching to viewfinder as expected.

I can't see it being a faulty display as its making sound when it's touched, but not sure. 

Anyone know what the issue could be?

Greetings aahlijia,

I'm sorry to hear that your EOS R camera is having a screen issue and thank you for providing us with the detailed information on what you have been able to observe. One last thing you could do is to press the MENU button on the back of the camera to see if the LCD panel will display the camera's menu screen. You may also check to see if the camera's display brightness is not set too low. While looking through the viewfinder in order to see the camera's menu, navigate to the screen brightness section of the menu and check to see what it's set to. You may click on the following link to view steps on how to navigate to this part of the camera's menu. The information will be on page 378.
