Camera not working

[naboujaoude]

I haven't used my camera in a few years but took it out today to see if it would work. I charged the battery and put it inside the camera and it would turn on but only for a few mintues. The screen of the camera would then show these green lines and turn off. I can take the battery out and put it back in, but it just does the same thing after a few mintues. After I put the battery back in I also at times get a busy or err message. Thanks for any help.

Greetings,

Test the camera with a know good power source/battery

Then you can determine if its working or not.

Curious, the obvious first thing to suspect is the battery/charger.  Why have you not done that first off?
