Olympus C-700 "battery empty" problem
I would sure appreciate hearing from someone who had this problem and FIXED
it. I have a C-700 which is about 18 months old. My problem isn't ordinary battery drain, rather what I suspect to be some kind of short circuit. Newly inserted batteries, alkaline or (brand new, fully charged NiMH) re-chargeables only work for a picture or two. I can open the compartment door, rub the contacts a bit, and get maybe one more picture, maybe not. I posted this query about a month ago, and got a suggestion clean the contacts, check the springs, etc. I have done this and the contact points are all good & clean. No change in performance. Already checked the obvious -- tried several new batteries and all act the same, batteries are not in backwards, etc. The problem is with the camera, I know that for sure. Thanks in advance! Fred |
