The camera took great pictures then all of a sudden the screen appears as a purple haze -- and the pictures come out as just a purple blurry haze. Adjusting brightness doesn't work. Yet, the shutt

If the LCD displays correctly on previous photos then the problem is more than likely a CCD or associated ribbon connector failure due to moisture/condensation or age/misuse. Good luck with finding a replacement part!

When i try to take pictures/videos my camera comes up a blurry purple and black screen and when i hit record it comes up blank black what can i do? i have had this camera around 6 years

It sounds like the imaging sensor has gone given the age of the camera I would highly recommend replacing it.You can get a camera that is quite a deal better for around 60-80$.
thank you,
