Use different picture/exposure modes... all the same result- blanks ?
Go to manual focus mode - turn the lens - try taking a photo...

Did you try to look at some photos that were previously taken?
Does the LCD display those?
Does the LCD display your menus?
If the LCD is alive (it does display something), your problem could be a defective CCD sensor.
The S1 IS had a problem with bad CCD sensors.
Several people have reported bad CCD sensors with the S2 IS.
If that is your problem......read this:

If your LCD display will not display anything....it is likely the LCD or its connections are defective.

I did just like you said. Filled out form sent camera and form to
factory service center in Il. Explained problem with blank display.
Received letter today from service center, they want $127. to repair.
No offer to fix for free. They still are in denial.
Hard not to bad mouth Canon went this problem has been going on for so long.
I wonder went this is going to happen to the S3 and the S5?

Contest it
by Lrry O - 11/7/07 8:43 PM In reply to: Contest it by vkp7I did and they offered to fix it for $75.00. But would not fix
for free.I had the camera returned unfixed.They paid the shipping.
I got rid of the camera and now have a Fuji which I am very happy
with.I will never look at a canon again.I highly recommend the Fuji
cameras.The S6000 makes the canon look like a toy,when put side by side.
About the same price.The S700 works great for me.
Good luck to anyone working with canon.
I know your done but please help the rest of us

I don't think it's the CCD problem! Shutter?
by Vous Nouvo - 10/14/07 6:24 PM In reply to: Canon S2 IS Shutter problem (blank viewfinder and LCD) by drey525As I dismentle the optical unit, I find some sticky liquid make the shutter fail to open.
Does anyone have a distorted purple image like A60, A70 or just black screen due to the shutter not open?
Can it be a factory problem?
Could be shutter...
by itzcryptic - 10/21/07 7:25 PM In reply to: I don't think it's the CCD problem! Shutter? by Vous NouvoI agree that it could be the shutter. I actually had thought the same thing, because a few times when I turned it on, I would get an image, but it would be very jerky, as if I were in low light conditions.
I have not exposed my camera to any elements, so any shutter problems are 100% manufacturer defect, and I refuse to pay $127 for their mistakes!
