Camera is designed with one cirucit board to control most functions. The camera probably has a damaged component or dead CCD chip. There is no economical solution but replace the whole camera because the part is not available to replace it.

Canon A530 black spot on LCD which is visible in the photos tried to clean the lensa but was in vain canyou help pls?

A blck spot on your pictures, means there is something blocking light on the sensor. Could be dirt, but more lightly is there has formed some mould.
Because you can't open a compact camera to clean the sensor, I think you can't solve this problem. Opening the camera is no option, because without skills, tools and manual, you won't be able to put the camera together. A repair shop most likely won't start the job, because the repair will cost more than a new camera.
Sorry I can't bring a more positive story.

Take out your ram sticks and put them back in. Also disconnect your hard drive and reconnect it. Then restart. If this doesnt help you may have a blown power supply.
