Hi,

What do the pictures look like when downloaded and viewed on a computer?

Same as they do on the LED screen. Solid black except the date info

The other menus look perfectly fine, just when trying to take a pic. It may have been dropped

Hi,

Can you view the camera’s menu options OK on the screen?

If so given that the downloaded images are also black it appears that there is either a problem with the camera’s CCD image sensor, the motherboard or both.

has the camera been dropped or gotten wet at all?

Unfortunately I cannot find any spare parts or a service manual online for your particular model. You may have better luck
