My Canon A95 flashes on its screen and i couldn't take any pictures...

I have Canon A95 Digital Camera and yesterday when I turned it on, there were flashes on its screen and it couldn't take any pictures. The screen became also black.after a couple of days it was all right, and then there were flashes again. Does anyone knows what is the reason for these flashes ? I think it's not the sensor because if it was i souldn't see the screen working after a couple of days. I need my camera badly :( thanks

Blank LCD on Canon A95

Believe that you accidentally pressed the DISP button on the bottom back row of your camera. This manually turns the display on and off as desired to save batteries. Press the button once more to turn it back on.
