What is wrong with my digital camera?

I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ-5 purchased back 2005. Yes, it is a dinosaur but I can't afford a new one. I was out with my sister earlier today and had lots of problems with the camera that I never had before.

I had to keep turning the camera off and back on again each time I wanted to snap a photo. Had to do the same thing when changing camera modes. I couldn't review any photos I took except for the most recent one....wouldn't advance to the next pic. The menu button wouldn't function at all.

The camera had a full charge and a blank 2GB SD card (max size for this camera) which was properly formatted.

When I got home I transferred the photos to my computer and reformatted the SD card, same problems. Then I put the batter on charge, still the same problem.

Anyone have any idea what is going on with my camera?

    It might need new batteries. Rechargeable batteries only last 2 or 3 years.

    If it's the original battery pack, It's probably tired to the point where it won't charge properly.
