Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 takes a looooong while to start up, HELP!

[littlebadboy]

Hi everyone! I own a Sanyo VPC CG10 since April 2010. I have been enjoying it a lot! But these past few months, it has been taking a looooooong wait until it starts up. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes or longer. Sometimes it does not start up at all. Even when I change fully recharged batteries, still the same thing. I also noticed that when I sleep mode it after using it a while, it also takes a long time to start up or even does not at all.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!
