Problems booting Flytouch 2

[18bs226hw]

After an enforced 2 week break in use (in hospital), I have found that my Flytouch2 will not boot up without first inserting the mains power cable. It also does not hold charge for long periods either.
Can anyone explain why this might be happening and what to do about it?
Ian.
