Start with putting the camera in manual mode. Settings iso 200, f 11, 1/500 if it's sunny. Try another lens on the camera. If it's the lens, you should get a picture. If the picture is still black, then it could be a shutter problem or a sensor problem. Then, you remove the lens, bring the shutter speed to about 1/30 and while looking inside you depress the shutter. It's been related that some 5100 had the mirror stuck in the bottom, so if you don't see the mirror going up that's the problem. And you keep going until you find what (in your case) is NOT happening as it should. Then you know you either send the lens or the camera to the repair shop.Keep us in touch so maybe we can help others that could run into the same problem.</blockquote>
