A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help:

you will need a #0 screwdriver. 1. remove the screws on the sides two on one side three under the Digital/dc in / av out 2. removed the screws from inside the battery compartment three total screws Cheers! PS these are small screws. Work in a well lit area!

My camera stopped working some time later after being dropped.
If you are brave (or desperate), try this... I found it was not too difficult to open the camera up. Take all the screws from the bottom, sides and under the card and usb, and inside the battery compartment. They are all different lengths so keep some record of what goes where. Then I made sure the multiway connector underneath the top was firmly in place. That was all I could see that I could fix myself. And what luck! when I put it back together it worked.

Well this is a combination problem and solution. My daughter has a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12 with the same problem. We called locally and e-mailed out of area camera shops and got zelch for help. The Panasonic people wanted $190 to fix it which is more than the camera is worth. So I would this place http://www.digitalcamrepair.com/ located in Euless, TX. The owner is Mike and he has about 3000 broken digtial cameras that he scavenges parts. He fixed our camera by replacing the top (it is all one piece) with a shutter button and it works fine now. From the time I sent it to receiving it back was one week and the price was $73 including shipping. Hope this helps.

hi.if you are telling both viewfinder and lcd are blank or black the problem is in the shutter that you found inside of the lens are not open.sometimes the cuase of the is humidity or moist goin inside of the shutter thats why it will not work properly or stuck up.if you can open your camera and adjust the shuuter from lens unit its better .but if not its better you bring to service center and request for adjustment.
by the way try also to reset your camera to default setting maybe it will help you.
thank you
