Camera wont take picture....

Question

My camera turns on fine but wont take a picture. When I press the button the screen goes black and the power turns off... the lens stays out though... So what could be the problem? I heard people talk about the lens not being in place or something but how would I fix this or is it even possible for me to fix this?

Answer 1

Yes the battery is fully charged, I even put a new memory card in the camera. The flash works, everything seems to be working except it won't take a picture.
