Camera help

Hey i bought a camera a few years ago well a camcorder its a digigr8 DV182, when i first used it it would turn on but the screen was blank, we used fresh batterys and kept it off for log periods of time, one day it worked and lasted for a few weeks now a few years later i have fished it out and its doing the same…so has anyone got any ideas?
