Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.
Try removing the batteries and memory card. Let the camera set for awhile. Put the batteries back in but not the memory card, restart the camera. Does it work know? If it does, turn the camera off put the memory card back in. Turn the camera on, does it work now? If it doesn't, replace the memory card.
Repairing the flash is probably too difficult for most people as a DIY
solution. Professional repair could be quite pricey. I would suggest
buying the same model on eBay but one with a broken screen, they're
quite common. Buy as carefully as you can, most sellers will admit to
additional faults and even claim a working unit. Don't pay more than
£10 plus postage, and swap-out your screen. This is an easy DIY
project. You will need a small tri-blade screwdriver and a small pozi,
but takes less than 10mins with care. Further info if required.

I tried calling polaroid since the camera is still under warrenty but they dont cover the screen..
Is it possible that you've gone into M (manual) mode and the shutter speed is fast and a small aperture (large number) been selected? Or has the Exposure compensation been adjusted to be -2? Does it do the same thing in fully automatic mode? It certainly sounds like some setting has been adjusted incorrectly.
