Hi All,
im hoping someone can help me.....
I purchased a second hand "working" Olympus OM10 from Ebay and it arrived today.
I have put some new batteries in the camera and switched to the Check position and nothing happens, no light or beeping. I have tried another set of batteries and the same (the batteries are the correct way round)
Can anyone suggest if I am doing anything wrong, or if there is something I should check ?
thanks in advance

You should hear the beep. If the on/off dial feels loose and sloppy it is probably a bad switch. If it feels ok, it could be a dirty switch in there. You can try working the on/off dial a few dozen times to see if that "cleans" the contact points or, if that doesn't work, squirt some lighter fluid under the dial and work it in. If it doesn't work after that either the switch is too bad off or the internal circuitry has gone bad somewhere. |

Think am getting there - I now have the lights working(both the external light and the internal light), however the camera doesnt beep when you do a battery check, even though the light comes on. |
