Ok so it seems that almost no one has any thoughts about this and unfortunately everything suggested I've tried. I guess I'll have to keep my Ds with out batteries, and remember to take them out when I'm done. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Yes I know the Ds is hopelessly outdated, but I've been using it as my backup/carry anywhere camera, and until recently it was serving admirably. Now however it's acquired a new annoying behavior, to wit, after loading a new set of lithium batteries it will totally drain them, in less than a week, even when turned off. Now my *ist D has always been a battery hog, but the Ds now even seems to beat that. I have now idea what might be wrong but I was wondering if anyone else had a clue. Needless to say it's not worth getting it repaired, a good used one from KEH is going for less than the repair bill would be.
