Newbie asking... newbie questions

A good friend of mine gave/traded a D200 to me. I hadn't had much want for another camera, but have slowly grown to like it...a lot.

Last night, pulling it out of the bag - it was in the ON position. No big deal, just charge the battery. The battery charger indicated charged, quickly. But, in putting it back in, the battery indicator said nearly dead.. the LCD screen wouldn't come on.. AND... it won't take pictures.

My thoughts tell me the battery is kaput...but would like to get an experienced take on it. Your thoughts?

I'd let it charge overnight and then see where you're at. A totally dead EN-EL3e battery will take a while juice up to full capacity.

Worst case scenario is you end up dropping $30 or $40 on a new battery.
