If the light is flashing, it may indicate the reset button is constantly pressed, quite easy to do.

Also, internally, there is a black plastic light block inside the camera that may have shifted. Opening the camera is pretty easy, but don't let me talk you into something you aren't comfortable with.

There are two hex head screws to remove, then the bottom has one plastic clip that you have to separate. I don't remember which way to flex it, but gentle pressure and wiggling seems to do the trick. The black plastic box sits on the front of the pcb, and blocks light from the sensor to improve saturation. Note that the black box will fit two directions, but ours had an UP printed on it as the hole isn't centered. If the black image isn't due to that box shifting, I'd say it is likely damaged.
