Re: Maxxum 5 No Power

If you've put fresh batteries in that you've tried in another camera to confirm there in good order , and you've put them in the right way up , the camera should work .

.

You said you've cleaned the contacts with vinegar ?

That suggests that the contacts were corroded up ?

In which case the other side where the wire connects up to the terminals might have corroded up as well .

These might need re-soldering .

A certain amount of disassembly will be required to access these parts .
