When i try to turn my camera on it makes the starting sound, the lens extends and the screen shows the "canon" image and then turns black. I cannot view anything on my memory card, it wont connect to the software on the computer. I have tried erasing everything on the memory card, uninstalling and reinstalling software and just charging the battery. Dont know what to do next.
LCD's back lite pbm replace.

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.
