- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello all,
I have in my possession a G7x Mark II that I got from a photo booth. Only, I can't operate the buttons and the screen remains black, no matter what. The camera is brand new, no scratch, no impact, internal electronics in great shape...
Nevertheless, I have access to the memory card by connecting it to my computer and by using the gphoto2 tool on Linux I can take pictures, configure the settings and retrieve the pictures on my computer. But the screen remains inanimate and the buttons unusable...
I suspect that there might be a protection that would prevent me to use it normally (considering it was used as a photo booth), or a particular firmware or something like that... I would like to try to update the firmware of the camera but I have absolutely no access to the menus and gphoto2 does not seem to allow me to do the operation either
If someone has a clue on how to force a firmware update from a computer or anything else on this kind of problem, I'd love to hear it. Thanks !
