My camera is really old, it has a broken LCD screen monitor, completely white screen. I dropped it twice on the floor and ever since then it doesn't work properly. I had been taking pictures and videos blindly without looking at the already broken LCD screen, I just check for the footage afterwards using my laptop and a cord and I noticed that the images displayed on the file looks normal, but when I open these images they appear half blank or a portion of the pic is completely misaligned and sometimes in different colors (particularly, green or beige). I decided to turn it on and it took so long, compared to turning it on without the CF card which was instantaneous... I connected the camera into my laptop and my CF card with 512mb storage, but it only displayed 3.18mb on my laptop and not the actual storage capacity of my CF card. I also bought a new CF card in the hopes that the CF card was broken and not the camera however, the same problem was present. Takes a long time to turn on, Does not take pics and only beeps, and the same display of storage capacity of 3.18mb. Is there a problem on the CF card slot? What can I do to fix this?

It sounds like an issue with the card slot. It sounds like it is time to retire the camera. A repair, if you can find a shop with the parts, is cost prohibitive.

the CF card slot or internal controller is damaged—likely from the drops. Repair might cost more than replacing the camera.
