The most common problem with the backup camera in the Acura MDX is actually a software problem with it. When the vehicle's software does not know that the car is in reverse it will not engage the backup camera and that will lead to it not turning on. If the software does know that the vehicle is in reverse and you have a black image on your screen then that could indicate that there is a wiring problem. I recommend checking the harness that plugs into the camera to Make sure that it is not loose and that it is free from any frayed wires on it. The last thing that you should check is the camera assembly itself, if it is damaged it could have failed and will need to be replaced.
