Which camera do you have? Canon has made many models with a “Mark 2”. 

 

EOS 1D Mark II.

EOS 1Ds Mark II

EOS 5D Mark II

EOS 7D Mark II

EOS 6D Mark II

 

My guess is you have a 5D Mark II because it is an older model and there were lots of them sold.

hi yes its an 5d mark 2

 

Your question is a little hard to understand possibly due to language and spelling. 

 

Have you had the camera for a long time? Has it always worked properly before?

 

Do your photos display properly on your rear LCD screen?

 

Can you take any new photos at all? If not, Try manual focus.

hi yes i had it from 2012! and has worked very well all the time until yesterday 😕  it has a black screen and i cant turn on the back menuscreen at all but the top smal infosceen works fine and every dial function there. exc the box that shows the image count is blank. a can focus both manual and auto and pips when it finds it focus but wont take a photo and doesnt show any error code 😕 ?  i tried 3 diffrent memorycards and 2 diffrent batteries and nothing? 

If the rear LCD screen is not working at all,  the camera will need to be serviced.

Your 5D2 is done.  Buy another camera.

To expand on Mike's point ...

If you're unsure of your English, try posting in your own language as well. Someone may be able to translate for you. I think this forum encompasses a fairly polyglot group of participants, so you may be surprised at what we can do.

 

Because virtually everyone in the U.S. speaks either English or Spanish, it's often assumed that that we're linguistically enfeebled, compared to the rest of the world. But that's really an oversimplification. It's worth remembering that despite occasional political pressures to adopt one, the U.S. does not have an "official" language.

I don't fully understand your question either but from what I do gather from it is not good.  Plus you may not know Canon does not service the 5D Mk II any longer.  I believe yours does need repair so you will need to search out a shop to do so.
