How do I fix my digital camera
No need for a repair manual, if you have patients you can replace the screen all by your self? Screen for this camera sells for about 19.00 to 25.00 dollars on Ebay, brand new.
Unfortunately you do have to take the camera apart to get to the broken screen and that takes patients by removing all the tiny screws around the camera. Once you remove the screws you still have to pry open the rear panel carefully, careful not to apply to much pressure along the clips/locks holding the rear panel. The rear panel should begin to pop out as you pry the panel all around. Now you have to carefully see how the screen is held down, might have just some metal frame snapped on around the screen or a few tiny screws? Once you see that the screen is loose be careful not to jerk it out just like that, you have to find the RIBBON that is connected to the mother board and carefully pull it out of its socket, then the whole screen should just slide out. Replace it with the new one the same way you removed the old one, careful when assembling it back together and make sure it the rear panel snaps into place before replacing all the screws you removed.
My camera doesn't have color and I constantly see horizontal lines how can I fix this
To avoid to much guessing, I think you should try to reset the camera. How to do that is on page 24 and 25 of the manual. With this you exclude things that can go wrong, because of a wrong scene setting or white balance or whatever. After you did the reset in the shooting mode, everything is in automatic again. Then again try to shoot a picture.
It could be the display is giving up. after a few years you can't expect it would work as new. So even if you still see lines on the display, shoot some pictures and put them on the computer. There view the results.
If the pictures are good but the lines are still on the display, try to live with that. Repairs will cost more than a brand new camera of a better quality. If the lines are in the picture, the sensor is defect and I think you should start saving for a new camera. Although new point and shoots can be bought around a 100 dollar. But even some smart phones now can take pictures that should be as goos as the ones that came from your Olympus when it was brand new.

My olympus digital 800 have a blank screen when im
I recently experienced a similar problem with my Stylus Digital 800 where I got a black screen everytime I took a photo. The shutter could have been stuck in the closed position. This problem developed five years after I purchased the camera. I replaced the lens assembly (p/n VJ 946700) with a new one from Olympus Parts and this solved the problem.
Battery charger flashing red light
Clean contact points of both battery and charger with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. This solved my problem with blinking lights and not charging of the batteries.
When I take a picture, it looks like a blue film is covering the subject
Are you sure you did not change any settings?
Looks like a wrong white balance.
Try putting the camera in automatic mode. Not in any scene or manual setting. If that solves the problem, only use other settings, if you think you could get a better result than the camera. (that is in extreme situations0 99% of the automatic shots, can't be done better in manual setting.
