I've a Canon EOS 300D. Functioning OK (mirror, shutter) but all images (in monitor preview and saved on CF-card) are totally black.
Any solutions for this problem or what to check?

Is there any EXIF information recorded on the images? Are you shooting RAW or JPEG?

In all modes (JPEG or RAW) the same result: BLACK
and YES: EXIF information is saved

Does the shutter seem to be acting normally? If you take a picture at slow shutter speed with a lens off can you see the sensor?

YES, Mirror and shutter reponse is OK!!
With long shutter times, mirror is up and shutter is open. I can see the CMOS sensor.

Gonna have to send it in then - it's in the electronics, most likely the sensor or a cable between the sensor and processor.

You could try shooting remote with your computer if you have the cables and software. This could help in tracking it down.
