Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Last night my CZ101 went berserk on me. Now whenever I switch it on, when I press a key on the keyboard it's as if all the parameters get randomised. This happens on each key press. I'm sure there are some circuit benders who'd love this behaviour but personally it really annoys me!

Could this just be the battery? Or is it totally dead? Has this happened to anyone else?
