Do I need the SDHC Memory card for the LCD screen to show an image?

I have a Polaroid iE4038, 18MP/Optical 40x camera which I have never really used - bought it new online a few months ago - it has new batteries, but the LCD screen just gets colored green lines all over it….it will not show an image…..do I need the SCHC Memory card for the LCD screen to work, or is there just something wrong with this camera? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TYIA
