hey dpreview-community,

my trusted X-E2 recently decided to not work anymore. Maybe some of you had the same problems…

When I am turning it on, the screen will “light up” black.

The camera doesn’t react, no matter which button I am pressing.

When I am switching it off, it will stay on with the same black screen.

I tried different batteries, lenses and sd-cards. Fuji and third-party.

I was able to do a firmware-update from the newest firmware to… the newest firmware, but it didn’t solve the problem.

Thank you in advance for any helping comments!

Hi, strange issue. Not sure what "light up black" means but I guess you mean somehow the LCD turns on but is dark. How about the EVF, is that the same? Same for shooting and playback modes?

How did you perform a firmware re-load if you couldn't see any display?

Yes, the LCD turns on but is black. EVF doesn’t react.

The updatescreen will show up when pressing the “display/back-button” while turning the camera on.
