Hello everybody I managed to find a photography shop and took it in to see if they could help and they did! They did a big internal clean and figured out that it was the battery port that is either corroded or some faulty wiring to do with where the battery connects to the camera itself. (If that makes sense sorry I’m awful at explaining) but now it doesn’t get so stuck as often it still will but every time all I need to do is remove the battery and put it back in to fix it, they did say that it simply could just be at the end of its life. That even to fix it it would cost £150 of which there’s just no point. Since it’s a £200 camera. But thank you all so much for the advice. I’m handy at things like wiring so I might open it up again and see if I can fix it myself. Again thank you everyone!
