Answer 1

I've had similar problems but it's usually as you mentioned the battery.  If it's still functional I would still use it.

Answer 2

There is no DIY repair.  Decide for yourself what it would be worth to have it repaired instead of replaced then contact a repair facility and get an estimate.

Answer 3

If it's not the battery and functional, I would use it; but in meantime I would be saving for a new camera.
