Why is my screen black and so are the pictures?

I have an Olympus Stylus 300 Digital and the LCD stopped working but now just using the view finder the pictures are no good either.
Help Me, I borrowed this camera!

I did not drop it , the battery works because the flash works , the memory card only gors in one way. Could the card go bad?

Is the battery still working, f.i. in a dark situation does the flash still work?
Is there a memory card in it, and if so, did you insert it properly?
Did you, by accident, drop the camera?

Did you check if the memorycard from the camera contained newly made pictures by using an external card reader?

Hope this helpes, otherwise, go to a shop where they sell digital camera's, maybe they can help you.

one word: BROKEN!

Your screen is black because you proably didn't put the backlight on or its kind of running out of light which is power.
