GH5 Lcd screen stopped working!! Any help??

[chad whelan]

Shooting today and tomorrrow and lcd screen just stopped working in middle of using for no apparent reason. The Evf works fine. I have done a reset through the menu and still nothing. Any help??

I hope I'm not asking a silly question but have you tried the 'DISP' button on the back upper right? One of the settings is a blank LCD. Good luck. . .

 

[chad whelan]

Yes

Perhaps this is another silly question, but have you tried toggling the Fn5 button on the left side of the EVF (labeled "LVF" directly below it)?

 

[chad whelan]

Yep. That's not it either.

Did you try to engage the preview picture/video mode?

How about putting and old version of firmware on an SD card to see if it would flash?

on the road so running through those "magic" fixes. taking out battery for 30 seconds, powering up and down, taking off lens, testing speed booster vs native lens, nothing. Finally - took out memory card and put back in and bingo! So far working fine again. Not sure what to think here but good to go again at the moment. I feel old school looking through the EVF, but it is definitely a nice sharp picture through there. Shooting all day again tomorrow, so if it acts up I will update. Thanks for the responses!

Chad,

What brand media card are you using?
