Try to reset it. I had similar problem with my mp3 player (Sony) and resetting fixed it.

resetting or recycling may be the only option

gadgets like these often have fairly cheap hardware and it eventually fails. It may be time to send it to the great recycle bin in the sky. Aside from that, a full reset and reformat would be worth a try.
