But won't allow me to take pictures or get into settings or menu...none of the buttons work except to turn on & off
Per Evan89's remark above, on these units the "shutter" button fails in the "on" or "down" position. There are a lot of reports on the internet. As soon as you turn the camera on it charges the flash and takes one or more pictures. It won't respond to other controls because it senses that the shutter bitton is depressed. A side effect is that the battery drains quickly.
I'm looking around to see if I can order a replacement switch assembly since these cameras are easy to take apart.
Hey, I'm having the same problem did any of these fix it for you?

Hi, Check and/or replace batteries. If lens is stuck slowly and carefully force it back in. Good luck.

Check to make sure that the capture button is not getting stuck in the down position.
