UPDATE! Part of the battery box was broken, so while the contact was touching the battery it was still sort of loose and the back end was touching other parts of the camera inside. Getting to the problem meant removing the mirror box , which turned out to be surprisingly easy. No need to remove top or bottom plates. just peel off the front leatherette, undo several screws and the mirror box slides right out in one piece - no wires to unsolder. From there, the broken part on the backside of the battery box was visible. I undid the wires, cleaned a rusty contact, epoxy glued the broken plastic part, waited overnight and then put everything back together. Perfect working order. Peter |
