Re: 5D Shutter problem

Start looking into a burial plot.

Do you have a power adapter that works on the 5D? Try an external power source to eliminate the potential low battery problem. If it still doesn't work, it's time to retire it.

Thank you all for your suggestions - but none worked for me .

I've noticed that when I shut down the camera - the red light near the CF card compartment keep on working - although the power is off. I have to take of the battery to stop it.

Another thing I've noticed - when I turn the camera on I hear some "clicks" for few seconds.

Any suggestions?
