E10/view black

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Urgent problem: both viewers are black (pictures as well). All other
functions work: e.g. exposure measuring, display photos and uploading
photos.

Probably a case for the repair shop.

In case anyone has encountered such a problem and knows a
hint/solution: I eagerly waiting for help!

I'm afraid not. In that case the light should end up on the sensor or
the viewer. Funny thing: the E10 supposedly uses a split beam so that
(conventional) viewer and sensor are served at the same time. But both
are completely black.

If #1 is going to work - when you install batteries and turn on the
viewfinder will be as normal - if dark (shutter closed) then repair is
only solution.
