Hi @haniyahz ,

Take some pictures and then download them to a computer. (I realize that you cannot "see" what you are taking in the camera's LCD screen)

If the pictures are OK then most probably only the camera's LCD screen has failed and it needs to be replaced as it cannot be repaired.

Here is a link to the ifixit Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 LCD Replacement guide which should be of some help.

Replacement screens are available online. Just search for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 LCD screen replacement part to get results for suppliers of the part.

If the pictures are not OK and are only a black image or have some other defect, then there are more problems with the camera, either with the CMOS sensor or the motherboard or both.

Hopefully this is of some help
