My A620 JUST started doing the same exact thing last night. LCD works, lens works... but something possibly wrong w/the shutter so it won't open.. everything black.
I Think it's a contact failure between ccd/shutter and electronic card. Moisture?
I have the same problem after 2 years. The repair center change the optical device. After 2 news years, same problem!
The screen is black, and a noise at power on, present when the A620 run friendly, is not present (shutter)? And when the shutter work (no screen black), I have line on the picture.
I can use my A620 with this manipulation:
-Power-on the A620.
-Put zoom to maximum.
-Change mode to viewer.
-Change mode to photo... and shutter is open, no line..
- If I modify zoom, line reapared for several resolution!
I hope my english is clear... It's not my language!!

Did you check the display option? The camera allow you to turn OFF the screen.

A stuck shutter is a 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.
