you decide

new camera or repair old one

Answer 2

Make certain there isn't any crud around the battery contacts shorting the batteries out. If that doesn't work If it was a cheaper camera it may not be worth fixing.Leave the rechargeable batteries out untill you are ready to shoot.

Answer 3

sounds like more of a battery prob

Answer 4

There's most likely problem with the electrical circuit of the camera. Nothing much you can do but replace it, else, you might have to spend a lot to repair it (might cost more than a new camera - not knowing what kind of camera you have). You can get the same thing since you already have a new rechargeable battery kits for it, or if you can return and get something different, to a camera you might be interested in.
