LCD only shows data, NO images

[webdzynes]

Hello - I'm new here and dont know much about cameras. I have an EOS 40D which was working great. It fell off the couch onto the floor and I thought it was fine. However, for no apparent reason, the LCD no longer shows images. It will show all the menu tabs and text etc but no images. I am at a total loss as to what may have happened... I called Canon and to my surprise, they no longer support this camera at all (including parts) so now I am screwed unless its a simple fix...   Any step by step instructions to recommend I try (as a novice)??

I meant to throw the 6Ti into the mix as well (if available).

So the final choices - assuming the Nikon will NOT fit my lenses - are these:

1) Canon EOS 200D (same as SL2) & card for $419
2) Canon EOS Rebel T7 and all the accessories for $449  

3) Canon EOS 6Ti, body only - no lens (refurbished) for $449

If the 6Ti is no longer available, which of the other 2 would you pick?

Looking to buy later today...  Thank you all for your invaluable help!!

If you want to buy from Amazon, I just saw bodies there at that price. If you want the 6Ti go and get one, you can play the game of "what if" forever and get nothing.
