LCD screen works but goes black when menu or DISP. buttons pressed - SX230 HS

[chrisrobson11]

Hiya,

My SX230 HS has not been used in a while. But when I turned it on today, and hit either the MENU or DISP buttons the screen goes black, although the camera is still on.

The screen works as it lights up when turned on or in the MEDIA section.

I was wondering if there is a fix for this or a way to reset the camera externally (i.e., with a computer) as I obviously cannot see my camera to do it internally!

Cheers, Christian
