This a possibly a connector problem to the screen If it is still taking pictures OK then you have to decide whether to live with it or get the next camera. I suspect a repair will not be very economic. Contact Sony support for further advice.

I have a Sony DSC-W50 Cybershot camera that won't take pictures or videos anymore. It powers up fine and the screen works, but when I hold down the shutter button all the way, it focuses and nothing more.
