Be aware your camera is not a professional DSLR with external flash lights.
Most camera's will get warm or even hot when you take several pictures with the flash on in a short time. Most manuals do have a warning about using the flash. Sometimes the camera is only allowed to take a picture with the flash on, once a minute or even once in a couple of minutes. When the camera becomes hot, it will prevent itself against overheating, by not charging the flash again.

Still it can be possible something els is wrong with your camera, but try to shoot with the flash, with greater intervals and look if you can use the flash any longer. Also when the battery is drained, the flash won't charge. When shooting continuously, you will drain your battery much quicker.

Dropped my sony digital DSC-W370 14.1 and the lens would not close. Have taken it to camera repair shops but they want to charge more than I payed for camera. Would like to know if I can try to close lens...

The lens error is due to failure of the lens control system. You can remove battery and card replace battery and while switching on tap the lens hood on your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service center on a reasonable estimate as some of the costs are high and hence they charge more.If the get estimate is high then you decide to scrap and go for a new model.Since some of the spares are available only with Sony service, this must be thought of, as you do not have to run around for spares.
However if the camera works without the lens shutting try and use it without any repair as Sony would have estimated for lens mechanism assembly

My screen goes dark every time i completely open my walkman 760a

Dropping you phone every now and then is very detrimental to your phone. What you are currently experiencing is a flex problem since you are using a flip up phone. You have to take the phone to a technician to refix the fllex for you.
