QST: Canon T90 help?
Ok, So I'm wondering why there is a lack of power to the Canon T90! So I open the Battery Compartment, I look down and see the Battery end terminals, I use a penlite to see better...no hell. What I do see is that the terminals at the bottom of the Battery Compartment are no shiny, as a matter of fact, the circular + terminal is black, whereas the - terminal is metallic. So I tried a sandpaper pen I designed for these hard to get projects and try to get a shine on the terminals....no luck, what I may be looking at is a black plastic fill in the center of the circular + terminal, not anodized metal. Can anyone confirm that? There is no sign of anodizing in any other cameras or any terminals on any of the T90 terminals anywhere at all. The circular + terminal end terminal looks like some sabotage if the center of the circular + terminal is made of black plastic! Anyone ever been through this trip?

QST: Canon T90 help?
Well that's amazing, we now have black metal, or something, and it's so hard to see down there, to actually view the construction of these little terminal tabs! All works properly with good nu batteries, in the standard compartment, and I guess I won't be needing a Quantum battery module to boost it! How do U figure the current is getting to through the plastic, since there is just a small hair sized metal rim, around the plastic + terminal stud! If U have the canon T90 *.pdf file, can U send it or provide a link?
