I just tried installing magic lantern for the first time on my 5d mark ii. v2.3. I followed the steps and checked that my camera had 2.1.2 installed on it. I installed magic lantern and it said that it installed successfully, however when i restarted the camera it just turned black. I could enter the menus though.

I then tried to uninstall ML from the card, but nothing changed. It says i have only 2.1.2 installed, but the screen is still black. And if i try to take a picture, it's black.

I'm about to shit myself, so if someone could please help me, i't would make me very happy.

Try using a slower shutter speed, a higher ISO or a wider aperture (or all of them). Also try removing the lens cap. And then, try reading this:

Have you tried pressin INFO? on the mkii this enables and disables screen.

Also remove the memory card, does the screen work as normal? ifso your camera is fine and you have installed ML wrong.
