I have had exactly the same problem as your first one and even more I had it with two identical cameras. It turned out to be a power supply issue. I had used a PX28 silver oxide cell and an adaption.

The solution was to use either an A164 alcaline battery (like the original one) or - easier to realize - a CR2 and two alcaline or mercury 625 whatever you have. If they are alcalines they must be new. This set has more capacity to handle the current peaks the shutter causes. With a set like this none of the GSNs I had showed this problem again. A CR123 instead of a CR2 would even be better but they are a bit to long.
