You mean It's blank or the Picture is funky (Batteries?). My gues you mean it's blank. I've had that problem but associated with the fact that I've had it apart, and there's a wire pinching. You might first make sure the Video cable to the SteadiCam is in all the way. I have had mine come out just enough to loose contact and give a blank screen. Once youve checked that, check the brightness knob ( it sounds stupid but i've done that too). If none of this works, with the SteadiCam in "flying" position, fold the monitor down to the upper spar as when closing it and see if it comes on. If so there may be a wire pinching. Let me know if any of this works. I'd also like to know where you are located and what you are doing with your setup, I'd like to network with others for professional reasons, even if you don't consider yourself professional. Rick
