Powershot A85 green screen

Rifkle — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:42:47 GMT

I have this Powershot A85 and I ran into a problem recently. When I turn on the camera, the lens comes out but the LCD is totally black, nothing is on there. I can't interact with it in anyway, not zoom, nothing. After a few seconds of that, the lens retract back but the power is still on. A buzzing sound can be heard from the camera in short sequence and a few seconds after that, the screen displays a weird green screen for a few seconds before turning off completely.
