Re: nx300 problem

I had a very similar issue to you. My wife was using the camera and then later that day we get a constant black screen, but if you listened carefully you could hear the shutter movement if you tried to take a picture. I thought that something might have corrupted software wise but couldn't access anything because of a dead screen. Today in a last ditch effort I went for the obvious answer. I removed the back plate following these directions. ( www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+NX300+Back+Panel+Assembly+Replacement/36896 ).  Once I had separated the camera I unplugged the back panel from the Motherboard and very carefully re plugged it into the motherboard.  I put a battery in, and turned it on a viola the screen turned right on as if nothing had ever been wrong with it.  I resecured the tape on the connector and closed the camera up and now it works without any issues.  If it happens again I might use a electronics safe glue to permenantly attach it but that will be a last ditch effort.  Hope this helps.  Ohh and before I forget.  The redlight for the battery turning off a few seconds after you plug it in to charge is because it is fully charged already.  I tried both of my batteries once the screen worked and both were fully charged.
