I assume there's a subject in the foreground you want illuminated with the flash?
The light output from the flash falls off with the square of the distance. An object twice as far from the camera only receives a quarter as much light. If you want your foreground subject illuminated then the background won't get much light. In order to get both the foreground and background illuminated the same, turn off the flash. This will probably require you to put the camera on a tripod or other stable support.
You might also want to consider using the Night mode. This mode uses a slow shutter speed to allow the background to illuminate, then fires the flash to illuminate the subject. See http://resources.kodak.com/support/shtml/en/manuals/urg00206/urg00206c2s3.shtml

Is your camera set to auto mode? I'm not sure if the CX7430 has manual settings or not, but try making sure its on auto.
Its possible the lens or the CCD (the device responsible for actually taking the photo) is going bad.
This guy - Darntoothysam has a CCD assembly as a low cost fix, 15 dollars.

checking on the first 2 comments, if there is flash and the pictures are dark - please check the lighting conditions
is it a dark place, fairly lighted or fully lighted
the flash also has a certain range, the subject may be far that the flash cannot reach it
if there is really no flash - it may be a hardware problem, pls contact kodak to arrange repairs
try going to PASM> fill flash too, if still not working - repairs =)

Either your PCB board is damaged, your batteries are old, or your AC adapter is providing higher voltage than the required 3 volts.

Sherry, have you tried to replace the battery of your camera? The recommended battery for your camera are the Ni-MH battery and the Alkaline battery. Now if you already using this type of battery and still your LCD screen is black its time for you to call Kodak at 1 800 235 6325 ext 12, it means that the LCD screen of the camera is already defective.
