hi.. I also had this problem with canon ixus 75. i took it to the service center and they just knocked its lens(lightly) when it was on ON mode, then suddenly the screen started working.
But he said that u should use it on regular basis for few days and if the problem occurs again. then we will have to change the sensor, I think he said sensor or something like that.

I have the same problem with this camera. The problem came on gradually, however. The screen would go black intermittently. Now it stays black. I can see menu options and look at old photos, but the screen is blank in camera mode and will only take blank pictures. I suspect a faulty CCD or a faulty connection to the CCD is the problem. Canon had this problem with earlier models and even had a free repair program in response. Unfortunately, this model does not seem to be included in the free repair program.

Can only take blackscreen, review old pic and new blkscreen pics whats the solution?

Comment by ilas_24, posted on Dec 08, 2008

I have the same problem and this is my second camera that is doing this. I received the first Camera in May as a wedding present. My sister-in-law took it back to the store in June. We got the same exact camera replaced and last night (12/8/08) I was taking pictures and it did it again. I don't know what to do and I cannot seem to find any answers on to how to fix it. I doubt I will go buy a new one. I am thinking I am going back to Kodak!
