Help with my digital camera

[StormShadow]

I have a Sony DSC-P51. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The problem I'm having is that the display is dark. When the dispaly is dark it takes a pic of what it see's. So I get a black picture. The display works because I can go back and see other pictures that I've taken. It has to be a setting but I've lost the instructions and I have no clue what the symbols mean. I would appreciate any help.

Ditch it and buy a new one
