broken digital camera...?

I own a Canon digital camera (sorry I don't know the model offhand). Whenever I go to take a picture, the screen is completely black & even if I shoot a picture, it comes up totally black. Right before it started doing this, all of my pictures where really washed out, but I reset the camera and now it only takes completely black frames. What's wrong with my camera? Is it fixable? Thanks so much!

    it might not be your screen somthin could b in the lense. Point a flashlight right on the lense while its on and look at the screen. If nothin happens ur screen should still have light even if it is black. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It is very possible that you got moisture behind the screen. What I would do is take the battery out, restart the camera an work from there. I would also go into settings and change the settings back to default. This should solve your problem.
