My camera turns on and I can view the pictures already on it. The lens opens up but the screen is blank. So you can't take a picture. No info on it about a malfunction. Bought a new battery and it is fully charged.

Sony had a bad batch of CCDs many years ago that affected a number of Nikon cameras, incidentally, given that Nikon has used Sony sensors for many years. The black image issue on a lot of older cameras like this is a near universal sign of this failure. The only way to fix it is a replacement sensor, which is NLA from Sony and Nikon, and at this stage, Nikon is no longer repairing them due to the age and parts status.
It might be possible to purchase a lens assembly and attempt to calibrate the new sensor, but many Sony sensors have a problem with a high enough failure rate that a significant number of used sensors fail in the same way, unfortunately. At this point, I would consider a modern Canon or Sony camera, which is not prone to failing due to horrible defects killing sensors.

There may be an option in the cameras settings where you can switch it to manual ( looking through the lens ) or digital ( looking at the screen ). Even in digital picture mode, you can still look out through the lens I believe. I think it gives you the option weather or not you want the screen on. My old digital had the option of the screen being off. You'll just have to go through all the settings. I hope that's what it is and your cameras working correctly. I hope my answer helps.

That answer is incorrect, this camera has ONLY a screen. No viewfinder, nothing to look at but the screen, if the screen is dark that's it.
