view finder went out on my Canon Rebel T3

I just had the same problem with the view finder then I found out how to fix it.....if the look to the right of the view finder past the rubber there is a little knob that says plus and minus then look in your view finder and twist it till it gets in focus.

Had the same problem look to the upper right corner of the view finder and there is a scroll that says plus and minus then look in the view finder and play with it till it gets in focus

No offense ... but that doesn't sound anything like "the same problem". The diopter being off will result in a blurry (but bright as normal) viewfinder - the OP is saying that the viewfinder is black.
