[QUOTE="Oomph, post: 58952, member: 8703"] Just wanted to post an update to the MB-D80 dead battery issue plaguing the D90 for quite a while. I read dozens and dozens of posts about bending the middle "signal" pin outwards to align the 3 pins in accordance with the positions of the 3 pins on the battery, after trying to bend the pin for 20 min, quite a resiliant piece of copper i might add, it just would not bend into place. After another 3 hours of surfing i came across a Flicker thread, in this thread a poster mentioned that the "stalk" or male end of the grip, if studied carefully, you would notice that the framing insert below the pin cluster is not snapped into place properly. After giving the plastic housing a good squeeze it snapped into place and i did not have to bend any pins, no more dead battery and fully tightened. Just wanted to put that out there in case a member has a similar issue with this Nikon grip. [/QUOTE]
