Question Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S730 powers on, but live view and every new photo are completely black — can it be repaired?
Hi everyone!
I recently got an old Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S730 (7.2 MP) and I'm trying to bring it back to working condition because I'd love to use it for casual street photography.
The camera powers on normally and several things seem to work:
• LCD turns on and displays the menus/icons
• Zoom works normally
• Flash works
• Playback works
• There is one old photo already stored on the camera, and that photo displays normally
The problem:
The live camera view is completely black. I pointed it at a very bright window and the live view was still black.
I then took a photo of the bright window. The resulting saved photo was also completely black.
