[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 729785, member: 45742"] I've always used Nikon SLRs or DSLRs but always seemed to own different brands of pocket cameras. My last digital pocket camera, a Panasonic Lumix TZ5, died last year. It just wouldn't power up/turn on. I tried some Deoxit in the switch, took it apart to look for obvious trouble, etc., to no avail. I recently read a thread on another forum about the Lumix TZ series "sudden death syndrome" that involves the failure of a tiny, crucial on-board battery. I got out my dead TZ5, took it apart and removed the tiny coin cell. Sure enough, the 3V rechargeable lithium cell read 1V -- dead. After much searching, I found a supplier of the battery and a new one is supposed to arrive here on Thursday. I hope I remember how to reassemble the camera by then! :) [/QUOTE]
