Help, 7D Mark II can't shoot anymore

[fotonews]

Hello, hoping someone knows what happen to my camera. Had a little bump and after that all I see when shooting is the attached photo. Any idea what is it? Can I fix myself? Mirror looks good. Dont see anything out of whack in there.

Thank you

Since we don't know what you are supposed to be displaying here:

Live View?

Standard Staus Screen?

Image Playback?

We can't say for sure. If you can take a picture and download it to a comptuter to view it, it is the LCD circuitry. Otherwise it is a dead sensor.

kvbarkley, thank you for your prompt reply. the image uploaded its all I get when I shoot, regardess of lens and/or camera settings and yes, I can download to my computer. circuitry or sensor?

I figure it out, its the camera display, LCD. Camera shoots properly and can see images when downloaded to computer. Thanks for the tip.

" Had a little bump ..."

How "little" of a bump? A 7D2 is a pretty robust camera and should take a little bump with out notice.

You are right, fell of a chair with a 300mm 2.8f

That'll do it.

You can try the HDMI out to see if it is the actual LCD or the video circuitry, but unless you want to drag a monitor along with you when you shoot, it won't help much, it still needs repair. 8^)

DIY kinda repair?

Hard to say. If it is just the LCD, maybe. If it is the video circuitry, probably not.
