p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D800e.......dead...update! camera is fixed!


Enjoying an outing with my new camera yesterday. Pulled it out that evening. Nothing. Dead. I know it couldn't be a drained battery because I had just pulled battery off charger. Recharged battery just in case. Nothing.
It was purchased used. Seller still has receipt. They had purchased new aprox. Five months ago.

Anyone else have this happen?

Update: They had camera about 1 week. Replaced battery contacts. All is well. BTW this camera is AMAZING!

Have you tried a different battery? Have you tried your battery on another D800?

That's really odd that it would die like that between uses. Have you tried removing the lens and CF+SD card? In case the problem is any way related to those contacts. Long shot but...

it isn't. he's speaking of the far older camera bodies...

Or, if there's a way to do it, I've never found it.
