I just had the same problem with a different hello kitty camerea so maybe what i did will work for you. if there is a memory card in there take it out and then take out the batteries and put them back in and then it should be ok. I believe if there is pictures on the camera memory and you insert a memory card it will show that.
How "fresh" are the batteries. Quite often they are weak, right out of the package. We revive a lot of "dead" cameras with Energizer Lithium AA batteries. Many cameras that people are ready to write-off, are resurrected with the Energizer Lithiums. I also think that battery manufacturers are not putting as much "juice" in them as they used to.
We can get you the LCD or do the repair for you if you prefer... though if the pictures are blurry that has to do with the lens not the LCD.
When you take a picture with the LCD are you allowing the camera to focus before pressing the button all the way down to snap the photo? If the LCD was cracked due to pressure there shouldn't have been any damage to the lens, it should be working fine.
One option is to purchase a defective camera online and see if you can repair one of the two from the parts.

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.
For Models: CC4352, CC4362, CC4393.
Your camcorder has a wide format recording mode that lets you make recordings compatible with the 16x9 format. When 16x9 is activated, the camcorder records black bars at the top and bottom of the picture to produce the wide-screen (movie) effect. This is also known as "letterbox" recording.
Do not use this mode unless you have a compatible 16x9 TV. When played on a regular TV, black bars appear on the screen.
If the 16x9 feature is activated on your camcorder and you want to turn it off, press REC/PAUSE to pause recording, and repeatedly press DIGITAL EFFECTS until no digital effects display appears.
When shooting with flash in a location where there are many suspended particles, such as in a dusty area or on a snowy day, the image may contain white circles as shown in the picture below.
Why does this happen?
If the flash fires when a suspended particle floats right in front of the lens, the reflection of the flash from the particle appears more intensely than that of the subject, as the particle is much closer to the lens than the subject.
Therefore, the reflection of the flash turns out in the image and causes an effect such as that shown in the sample image above.
The closer the lens and strobe are located, allowing suspended particles to be exposed to more light, the more frequently this effect can occur.
How can I avoid this effect?
Ideally, it is best to shoot in locations where there are very few suspended particles. If not, you can use following method to prevent this effect.
a) Avoid using flash by lighting the area as much as possible.
b) If your camera has a zoom function, shoot at a wide angle.
c) If you can attach an external flash, use the external flash to distance the flash from the lens.
