There is a possibility that its the two way switch that flips between LCD and viewfinder that is faulty, insomuch that when the LCD is closed the switch hasnt reverted back to the viewfinder position properly. Try giving the hinge area a quick spray of silicon lubricant of the type used for car electrics, although if this doesnt work then the camcorders case will have to be separated to gain proper access. Of course whats been mentioned is among the lesser of the things that can be responsible for the problem.
