POSSIBLY THE RIBBON CABLE THAT RUNS FROM THE EVF (VIEWFINDER) TO THE MAIN PROCESS BOARD SHOULD SWITCH REFERENCE TO EVF WHEN LCD PANEL MONITOR IS CLOSED REGARDS JOHN

hi,
does the view finder work ?
if yes, there must be the flat ribbon cable that may have been moved and disconnected, but if the view finder doesn't work too, there must be a board inside or a connector that has been moved (connectors a sometimes sensible to chocks, an in between the boards there are connectors too...) the LCD controler-processor board for exemple.
cheers

If the issue persists even after performing allthe above-mentioned steps, service is required.

It's by design. The D3000 does not have the LiveView feature.

Please take a look at the symptoms listed here, and see if it's what you're experiencing.

Sony had a certain issue with the CCD chip on this camera. If it's this issue, they'll fix it free plus $20 until March 2010.

Due to ccd imager chip failure in DC-F717 camera, you do not get live view to take pictures in LCD and view finder. CCD imager chip will be replaced to correct that problem, Sony offers free of cost repair for same problem in this model. Click Sony CCD Imager Support for details.
Thanks.

What if there's no tape inside of the camera, does it still same?

Push the evf/lcd button and it should work.

Well I saw on other post you can turn the screen outwards. It is very difficult to use....but you have to do what you have to do. For the view finder I am still searching for an answer..
