Should I Replace The Battery If The Zoom Does Not Work And It Is Out Of Focus ?

Battery works and is able to be recharged. Zoom sometimes works, lens sometimes closes when turning off, blurry image in LCD either zoomed or not. Menus work. Prior to this LCD was on but no image and could not record. I pressed reset and now at least it gets an image but is blurry.
