Did you try to use auto.

The screen is damaged, you will need to replace it or take it to a camera repair shop.

Thank You for using FixYa.

1. Ensure the camera is turned on.
2. If applicable, ensure the lens cover has been removed before taking pictures.
3. Ensure the LCD backlight is turned on by pressing the DISPLAY button several times until the screen appears. NOTE: Depending on the camera model, the DISPLAY button may be labeled as DISP or with a display icon [FIG. 1]. This button could be a standalone button or incorporated as one of the control arrow buttons depending on the model of camera.
   
4. If operating the camera with a battery, ensure the battery is fully charged.
5. Ensure the battery is inserted properly in the camera.
6. If operating the camera with the power adapter, ensure it is plugged into a working AC outlet.
7. Ensure no Audio/Video (A/V) cables are connected for viewing pictures on a TV; the LCD screen will not display when an A/V cable is connected.
8. Perform a reset procedure on the camera.

Try to reset the camera to original settings:
How to reset a Cyber-shot® digital still camera back to original factory settings. Solution
Cyber-shot cameras nowadays have a built-in rechargeable battery for retaining time, date, and other settings. Since the built-in rechargeable battery is not removable, current Cyber-shot camera models can only be returned to the original factory settings by pressing a small RESET button on the camera or by using an Initialize option in the menu.
Older-model Cyber-shot cameras (prior to the year 2000) do not have a built-in rechargeable battery and do not have a RESET button or Initialize option in the menu. These cameras require a manual power reset.
IMPORTANT: To determine whether or not your camera has a RESET button or Initialize option, or for other model-specific information to complete any of the steps in this solution, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony® eSupport Web site.
Follow the appropriate procedure below for your camera.
Using an Initialize option in the menu
Since Cyber-shot cameras have different menu system layouts, refer to the instruction manual specific for your camera model.
Using a RESET button

1. Locate the RESET button on the camera.
2. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds.
3. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button.

Performing a manual power reset

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove the button-sized lithium battery.
4. Allow the camera to remain without power for 30 seconds.
5. Reinsert the button-sized lithium battery.
6. Reinsert the battery pack.
7. Turn on the camera.

Did you ever remove the dial and put it back on?
Turn the dial to a different location and try to take pictures. try all the settings untill you get the correct one. Good luck

remove battery. try reset near the batt you will need paperclip to press the reset.

take the battery out and let the camera sit for an hour or two, take out the memory card, try to view photos on computer, if it does not work, you will have to format the card and start over. Some times when the format on the card is bad, the camera will not work properly. I have two cybershots myself.

Please check the image size (pixels x pixels) setting or the resolution (MP). Seems like the camera is shooting in low resolution. Have you used this memory card on a mobile phone or another camera? Format the memory card and try again.

the sony DSC-100 is a 5.0-megapixel CCD so you will not get more megapixel from this camera.
