The camera will not turn on

The pictures come out blurry
After you have taken a picture, the image you see is blurry instead of clear.
The lens is smudged
Check the camera’s lens for any smudges that could impact the quality of the pictures taken.
If the camera’s lens does appear dirty, carefully wipe the lens with a soft microfiber cloth until all or most of the smudges are gone.
The camera was moved while taking a picture
If your lens is clean and your pictures still come out as blurry, you may be moving the camera too much when taking the pictures. Don't move your arms and hold the camera still when you are taking the picture.

I bought a Fuji x100T. Everything is functional and in great condition. However, not sure if it's my battery? Everytime I take out to charge and reinserted when fully charged, the camera resets itself as if it was the first time. Have to reset date/time, and all my settings for the camera, including my FN buttons. It's rather frustrating.
I've read several answers online that it could be the internal battery? I've been getting by with charging the battery inside the camera, it's the only way the settings stay put. Another answer was to charge the battery fully and leave the camera on for 24-28 hours ( which I havent tried yet, since I've been wanting to take pictures since I bought it, four days ago)
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you,
