[QUOTE="pendennis, post: 687699, member: 42413"] Do you have a lens mounted? Are the camera batteries oriented properly (+/-)? And, in line with batteries, did you thoroughly clean the contacts in the holder and the body? Over time, batteries will secrete a film which can interfere with the contacts. If you have a fiberglass brush, or a decent pencil eraser, be sure the contacts are spotless. Also, insure you use something like Scotch Brite to clean the threads on the battery cap, and the body. It only takes a slight "non-contact" to keep the batteries from making a complete circuit. Nikon, as well as others recommend not making any contact with batteries and your bare skin. Also, you may want to remove the finder, and insure the contacts are clean between that and the body. These are niggling problems which arise from time to time. [/QUOTE]
