You may still be able to take pictures with your black screened Kodak camera. This problem occurs in the line of Kodak EasyShare digital camera models.

When you turn on your Kodak EasyShare digital camera, turn off the LiveView function. Take a picture using the small-windowed viewfinder (this is not the LCD screen). Also, try zooming in and out.

After taking a picture, review the picture to see if the picture has been taken. Then turn on LiveView and occasionally the LCD screen should no longer be showing a black screen.

It sounds like your lcd is cracked. I am unfortunately speaking from personal experience.

Sounds like the LCD. Setting anything next to it, bumping it may crack the screen

That is definately a cracked lcd your describing! I doubt there is an easy solution but maybe... If you are able to get into the menu and disable the LCD that might help. However! The fact that the LCD is broken shouldn't keep the camera from running (though its remotely possible) If you can't shut it off or work without it the odds are you've got an expensive paperweight. At least thats what I gather based on your description.
