L830 viewfinder has full assortment of icons and can playback photos, but is just a black screen when I try to shoot. Help!

Hi @valleyvu ,
By viewfinder I assume you mean the LCD monitor?
Try taking a photo, (I realize that you cannot 'see' what you are taking) and download it to a computer and check what the picture is like.
If you have a good picture then there is a problem with the motherboard passing on a new picture onto the LCD monitor.
If there is a black image for a picture then there is either a problem with the camera's CCD sensor or the motherboard or both.
Has the camera been dropped at all or gotten wet?

No images on the LCD monitor or the memory card. The camera was not dropped as far as I know. Is this a readily fixable problem for a shop or myself: is there any point to opening it up and inspecting for loose connectors, etc?
Hi @valleyvu ,
It's always worth a try to see if it is a loose connection from the sensor board to the motherboard.
If it isn't a loose connection then the camera is already open for a replacement part to be put in (if you are doing it yourself. that is).
It might still be a motherboard problem but I guess you won't know that until a new sensor board has been installed and tested.
BTW the link I posted for the replacement sensor part was not a recommendation to use the supplier. It was shown to give a idea of the cost of the part. There may be other suppliers that suit you better.
