how to turn on lcd

[debtom12]

I have a brand new Sony a6300 and I cannot get the screen to come on.  It worked to begin with but somehow it will not come on any longer.  I have searched the manual but no instructions for this exist.  Can someone please, please help me.

A couple of basics:

• Maybe you set menu item to EVF? Choice is for Screen, EVF or auto. (Menu item FINDER/MONITOR)
• It is possible to program a button to turn off the monitor. Maybe you did and maybe you pressed it.

I've caught myself out with the latter.

Although less likely than just a menu change as noted above, is something covering the eye detector fooling the camera into thinking your face is at the viewfinder?
