Hello all,
I have a Rebel T7 (2000D) which is a 1.5 years old. After switching on today, it is no longer taking photos. The unit does switch on, but the LCD screen is blank. Looking through the view finder when pressing the shutter button, I can see the shot information and also hear the lens focusing, but pressing to take the shot does nothing. I've verified that the battery is also fully charged.
I've had a look though the other similar posts, of which, none are applicable to this model.
Is anybody able to provide any other suggestions or tips as to what the issue may be or how it can be resolved?
Cheers,
Mark.

Well embarrassingly, the shoot button had got sticky. I ended up sending it off for repair. When it got there, the repairer phoned me and said it as working OK! Seemed like being in transit had released the button. Anyway, it was given a clean and seemed like the button had got sticky.
Really wasn't obvious from the outside, but because it wasn't springing fully back, the screen wasn't coming on!
All I can say, is fully check the button. Hope that helps.
