No but I have new batteries, it is about functionality, not batteries.
Rob tends to be correct about this sort of thing and it also sounds to me like a battery problem. I don't want to go into a long description of why bad batteries can cause all those symptoms, just trust us.
Even if you think the batteries you started with are new, try with different batteries that you are sure are good.
If Rob was wrong in his first estimate of the problem cause, and you try his suggestion and give some further details of the behavior, I expect he will find the correct answer soon. But first, you should assume the expert is correct and try his first suggestion.
