[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 597471, member: 25095"] Howdy and welcome to Nikonites! I'm not familiar with the Vertax grip, but I have used Nikon OEM grips on the D7100 and D810. There shouldn't be much to do other than screwing them into the base in order for them to work. Seeing the green "writing" LED illuminate is common, so I don't think that is an indicator of the problem itself. I expect to see that LED go on then off again when adding/removing the grip, just like inserting/removing a memory card. Did you have the camera body off when adding the grip? I would probably recommend leaving the body with no battery installed for 30 minutes or so, and then see what happens when a battery is re-inserted with the grip removed. It's possible something got shorted in the body when testing originally, particularly if the body was switched on while testing, so first thing is to verify the body by itself without the grip.
