Re: G12 screen turns off (blacks out) when flipped into normal position for shooting.

I had a similar issue with a Canon A650. The image on the LCD would persistently be upside down, or blacked out.

Because it was a spare camera I had no qualms about separating the LCD from the camera unit and fiddling with it. The LCD was retained with two tiny cross-head screws. I cannot remember how I did it – but I (eventually) got it to work properly.

You have to weigh up the personal value to you with the risks involved against the cost of a professional repair. For me, it could have gone horribly pear-shaped!!
