Is my H10 dying?

[.|. | '.' | .|.]

Ive had my H10 for about 4 or so years now and ive never had a problem.... until now. The buttons are malfunctioning. When i turn the player on, only the "in" and "out" buttons work, the scroll pad, lock, play and rewind etc dont work. But when i turn it off and back on again, the menu always goes down as if the scroll pad is stuck on down, and the lock and off button works every now and then.
The battery is always full when i try again, but is it just dying? Oh by the way, i dont use rockbox, just OF.

Has anyone had any similar experience?? It sucks not being able to use my H10 to listen to music without the volume constantly going down. On the odd, occasional rare day, it decides to play fine with me but mostly, almost always has this problem lately.
Any advice?

has anyone had any similar experiences even with another player?? I guess that with no reply, no-one has any idea what is happening to my player. Ill just have to live with a semi-working H10

i've heard of this happening with Rockbox, but not the original firmware
