Well, the camera is fairly long in the tooth age wise. And around that time Sony, and other camera makers who used Sony CCDs, were suffering from a faulty design which prompted a recall. You could check that. But to be honest, the camera needs to be replaced or repaired. And if it isn't a faulty CCD, then it's probably not worth repairing. The average cost of a camera repair is around $180. As such, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
Before taking drastic action though, you can try the following - reinitialize the camera to reload the firmware and restore the camera to factory settings; download and install any firmware updates; and lastly, clean your battery contacts with a pencil eraser.
