I was able to contact Canon (USA) and their tech said that a sensor had gone bad; would not be any more specific than that, and that particular camera is out of production and there are no repair parts for it.
I found an exact match to my camera online; bought it and transferred the main board from it to mine. Now my “old” Canon A2200 works just like new again.
Many people told me it was the battery, sorry people that was wrong. I bought a new battery, charged it, put it in the camera with the same results.
Thanks to everyone who tried to answer this question for me.
