Camera turns on but does take pictures. Everything works except taking pictures. Screen works for displaying various functions, but turns black the moment lens extends and opens. Pressing silver button does nothing. I simply cannot see any images through the lens on my screen. Nor does shutter within lens mechanism click. Could it still be a lens problem?Or some other other electrical part that will not let my screen light up for taking a picture? Your insight is appreciated. I love this camera and it is full of wonderful images of international travel that I as yet haven’t downloaded. One other question, Is worth it for me to put it back together so I can view my beautiful dead camera at its funeral?

Camera turns on but does not take pictures. Screen works fine for displaying menus using buttons, and calling up images. But when I EXTEND LENS for picture-taking, screen turns black. Pressing silver button does nothing. I simply cannot see any images through the lens on my screen. I can press a back button to return to Playback Mode and screen works fine as long as I am not looking at data derived from what would ordinarily come through the lens. Unfortunately, I did not have manual for camera, as I do now, and I missed checking some back button options before I took camera apart. I am putting the camera back together now on the assumption that the camera was in ECCO mode. Any suggestions appreciated.
