Canon Powershot A1400

My camera will display previous pictures taken from my memory card, but when switching to "shooting" mode, the display goes black. I am unable to zoom in or out unless in the slideshow mode. It's almost as if my picture and recording modes have been completely disabled. I have switched the batteries and cleared my memory card as well as reset to default to start again and none of these things have worked. Can anyone please help? Thank you so much for yalls time

Re: Canon Powershot A1400

Does it make any sounds, beeping, motor sounds like the lens is trying to open? My first guess would be the lens is jammed stuck, but usually the camera would display a lens error message on the screen.

Try taking the battery out, holding the power button down for 30 seconds or so, put the batteries back in and try again. Sometimes this will drain all the power from the camera and help to reset it.
