Sounds like one of two problems: the lcd could be bad, or the circuit that processes the pictures could be faulty. There are some ribbon cables inside the camera that can also get "knocked" out of their settings with the camera being dropped, etc. Service will be required to fix it, but you might just opt for getting a newer camera on sale, since the price of repair is often more than the old camera's worth. I've seen 10.2 mp name brand cameras on sale for $69...probably half the cost of repair. Sorry, wish I had better news.

You need to eliminate the pics from the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, insert your card and do the "format" thing again for the card. Everything should be normal now.
