Lumix GX7 Fault, any ideas how to fix

We are talking about an electronic device and so, depending on the luck they might die sooner or later.

Still remember a very old thread that for some reason the owner opened up the case and found his very clean apparently camera indeed has a severely oxidized LCD panel...

I was also thinking it sounded like some kind of electronic short going on, corrosion, water intrusion, etc, that has damaged the main board, including the internal battery connections.

If it was just the internal battery alone, the only thing that would have been affected would be the date and settings memory, but when you combine that with the more significant electronic failures that are happening simultaneously, it's suspicious for a more generalized circuit board failure.

A lot of reason and even the atmospheric humidity could cause problem even it has been taken good care all the time, or might has been hit or dropped...

It seems your cam might meet its end. A good time to consider upgrade. I don't think it will be worth to look for repairing.

Unfortunately, I think this might be the case, also.

One other suggestion:  If you live someplace very humid, perhaps setting the camera in a sealed container with a dessicant for a few days might help, in case there is some condensation that has gotten into the insides and is causing the problem?  Long shot, I know, but worth a try.
