H3D II-39, No display or chip capture

[cpwalla]

Startup: Rear digital menu normal, Grip digital menu normal
Focus and click shutter: Mirror functions, rear digital screen goes dark, grip digital screen shows histogram, no chip capture
Remedies tried: Firmware up-to-date, replace battery, replace chip, reboot camera ... no affect ... same scenario

I'm probably not the first with this issue ... anybody solved it??

Much appreciated

Does the camera detect the memory card and are you able to format it without a problem?

Did you try a different Memory card?

Do you get a capture when tethered to a computer?

Put in brand new card and successfully formatted ... problem persists ... FYI

Do you get a capture when tethered to a computer?

What does the histogram look like?

Are you by any chance in battery saver mode? In battery saver mode the exposures made are not shown on the screen.
