Have you check the eye sensor setting (P.7/8 under Custom Menu)?

If the LVF/Monitor Auto has been set to off, and by hitting fn4 (if it has not been assigned with any feature), you might have accidentally switch into evf only mode.

On power up, if you do not put your eye to the evf, LCD will be in totally black, but the camera should still be responsive...

🤔

Thanks! Another trap...now I know! More likely to figure that out. Important not to panic. Be calm and try everything. Long time ago just having charged batteries, saw some mother of pearl clouds. Took out the Canon S2 but no response. Well, a shame I thought and walked on. Later found one battery the wrong way... Luckily the same kind of clouds appeared...next year...
