Pentax Optio 50. The view screen seems to have lost contact wth the lense?

I can review existing images but when trying to take a photograph the screen is black, showing only theprinted infowhic changes as I scroll through the options. Taking a shot simply saves a blank image with time and date. Any ideas anyone? It is 24 months old

I have the same problem with the same model, does anyone know of a cure for this yet?
