My Canon Power Shot A75 will not take a picture, nothing is visible on screen and nothing comes out if I try to take a picture. Play back works.

Check that the lens cover is removed before taking pictures.

Hi. When I power up my Canon A75 to take a picture, the screen is purple, not black. Is this also a sensor problem? Also when the camera is turned on or off, the lens retraction or extension mechanism...

The purple screen is also an indication of sensor failure, However, the odd noise could any of a number of things from sand/gunk in the gear mechanism, a damaged tooth on a gear, etc... But still, recommend that you contact Canon to arrange the advisory free repair (with free shipping) of the sensor. Call 1-800-OK-CANON.

A75 Turn on the camera, no LCD display, It's black. The shutter is open, the batteries are new, I tried a new flash card, nothing works.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:
