Why does my camera only take pictures when it is closed?

I bought this camera at a yard sale and bought new film for it.

When the film is inserted it pops out the dark slide pops out and the camera makes sounds like it’s charging the flash.

When the camera is open, nothing happens when the shutter button(s) are pressed.

When the camera is closed and the non-flash shutter button is pressed the camera spits out film. The green button on the camera does not come on.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you for any help!
