When I turn the camera on the LCD screen lights up with the Kodak easyshare screen then it goes black. I can take a picture with or without the flash and it is black. I can turn off the LCD screen and I take a picture using the viewfinder and putting the memory card in the computer it is black. I can't take any pictures with my camera -- WHY???
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see the following for further info and a simple fix that may help:

Yes --- I can't take any pictures because they all turn out black.
when you transfer the pictures to your computer, are they all black too?
