EOS Rebel T7 screen black

[kgooder]

Hello, I am a HS yearbook advisor so I am not well versed with deep knowledge of our camera, still learning. 

Just recently the screen has stopped working and does not turn on when the camera is powered on. The camera will take photos but we are also not able to use the half click focus on the camera as well. 

My students are all amateur photographers, so please keep in mind that it is high school students using the camera. 

Any advice on things we could try before finding somewhere to take the camera in?

Thank you.

That camera doesn’t have such sensor. That turns off the LCD screen when using the viewfinder. I believe that was only in Rebel series cameras with an “I” in the name. Then it was dropped sometime around the T5i or T6i release.
