EOS 1000f - new battery after long time unused. No response

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

I have just picked up my EOS 1000f after a long time of it being in dry storage. The battery was kept out of the camera whilst stored (but still showed approx 5.8v). I have installed a fresh battery (showing 6.8v on meter) but ther is absolutely no sign of life. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have an EOS 1000FN. Did you remember to switch the camera ON? Load some film? Test the flash? Get a new camera?

Clean the battery contacts with contact cleaner?
