The only time I've had that problem it's been with a particular lens.
However, maybe you didn't leave the battery out long enough to make sure
that there was no more residual power left in the camera, and there was
only an incomplete reset.
Before doing anything drastic, I'd take the battery out and let it sit
overnight, just to make sure. Of course that won't insure that any long
term storage capacitor is discharged, but that would probably take weeks.
However I have a feeling that the problem is in one of the contacts,
either the digital or A contact. There aren't any moving parts in
either of those on the body, AFAIK, if so leaving the battery out
overnight doesn't work, I have no further suggestions for DYI repairs.
I know better.

It showed "F--" on the display.
I've tried to clean the contacts, powercycled it by taking out the
battery... Nothing helped.
Any ideas on what could be the culprit and what I can try "in the field"?
Please cc me, if possible for the ease of reading responses on the road.
