Are you talking about the rear screen
do you mean the live view is not working
or are you talking about the LCD screen on the top panel

Re read your post sounds like the rear screen
if you have live view activated you normally press the select button to turn it on its not normal to use it all the time for normal shooting I only use it when mounted on a tri pod
