Internal memory card problem

I downloaded a full memory of pictures from my camera to my computer to do a view only step. I viewed all of the photos and they were good. Then I disconnected my camera and tried later to put the images permanently on my computer but the camera did not respond. I disconnected it and pushed the playback button and it said "no images". I did not delete them. I tested the camera by taking a new picture, viewed it, then the camera would not turn off. Finally I did get it off, turned it on again and pushed playback. It gave the message "no images". None of the camera buttons seem to work any longer.

I believe the images are still on the internal memory card inside the camera. Is it possible to send it somewhere to have the memory card removed and take the pictures to a CD? I took it to a camera repair shop and they can do it there but suggested that Gateway may be able to do that. Do you know if this is possible?
