Seems to me, the screen has shorted out. To fix this, the camera will have to be disassembled enough to get to the screen and clean the contacts which are many and along two adjacent sides. You can do it on your own if you want to take the risk (and learn about camera electronics). The other two options are to have a technician do it or replace the camera. Replacement may be cheaper than a technician. Do some research before you decide.

Same problem as many others. screen says "change batteries" and shuts off. Even with new bateries the Camera won't take pictures or videos, still flashes as low battery and shuts off. I tried reformatting and reseting the camera. nothing helps. please let me know what the solution to this problem is.
