One possibility, since it sounds like these symptoms have been happening intermittantly: Some 2CR5 batteries are shorter than others, and short ones don't always make good contact in the battery compartment. Try folding a small piece of paper over 2 or 3 times and putting it between the battery and battery door, to force the battery into good contact. You might also try cleaning the battery and camera contacts. I had a similar intermittant problem with my Elan II a number of years ago that was solved this way. Since yours died completely, this might not have anything to do with it, but it's worth a try. Good luck. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
