For awhile when I turn on my Kodak Easeyshare M350, the screen would stay black for about 30 seconds but then would go to normal so that I could take a picture. After it was that way for awhile, when I plugged the cord into it & into my computer to put the pictures onto my computer, it wouldn't work. After that - my screen is now completely black. I can take pictures, but I can't see them until i take the memory card out, & put it into my dad's printer to show up on his computer.

The lens has gone.

SOURCE: LCD screen is black-cannot take photos

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 the following for further info and a simple fix that may help: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2009/05/simple-fix-for-stuck-shutter.html

Make sure a card is installed. In any still or video mode, press the Menu button. Press up/down to highlight Image Storage then press the OK button. Press up/down to highlight Internal Memory then press the OK button. (You'll need to set this to Auto later if you want pictures to go to a memory card instead of the internal memory.) Press the Review button, then the Menu button. Press up/down to select Copy>> then press the OK button. Press up/down to highlight what you want then press OK.

Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to lens error problems can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some last resort troubleshooting steps that you can try that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try.
