[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 525728, member: 12496"] If the battery is several years old, it could be the battery. Trying another battery is the best test. If you have a volt meter, you can measure the voltage on the two outer battery pins. It is a 7.4 volt battery, and should not be very far below that. Immediately after charging, it could show 8+ volts for a while. But batteries need to be replaced after only a few years anyway. The replacement for a two pin EN-EL3 battery for D90 is the three pin EN-EL3e, but the D90 only uses the two pins. There are third party brand batteries that are more economical than the Nikon brand. I have have good luck with the Wasabi brand at Amazon. If the problem is the camera instead of a battery, then that is a defect that will need repair. Frankly, the cost of the repair might be more than the older camera can justify, that money might be better spent on a new current model. I would suspect the battery first. [/QUOTE]
