D-Lux Type 109 Won't Turn On


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Pulled my D-Lux out of its bag this morning with plans to use it tonight.  I haven't used it in three months as I use my Q almost exclusively now.

Anyway, I hit the ON/OFF button and nothing.  So, I put that battery in my charger and inserted my standby battery -- nada.  I thought that possibly both batteries were dead.

 

I charged the first battery or, at least the charger said it was charged, and tried again.  Again, nothing.  I am waiting now for the standby battery to charge to see what the results will be.

 

Question #1 -- Do cameras know when you have found a new camera love and become temperamental, like people?

Question #2 -- Have both batteries gone Tango Uniform due to lack of use?

Question #3 -- Could it be a camera problem?

 

And, yes, I did store the camera with the battery in it -- my bad.

I think I know the answer to Q-1...

 

TIA...

Well, I am sorry to hear that too.  This is the first for me and I don't think it is a camera issue.  It's a battery issue.  I have found plenty of information online on getting these batteries to take a charge again once they refuse to do so. 

The link below shows a video that I will try tomorrow...

Some early LX100 copies, including mine, have had battery issues. See for example:

As far as my body is concerned, i cleaned the electric contacts, removed the battery, let the camera empty for a couple of days, did a reset and all worked fine since then.
If this doesn't work for you you might have to send the camera in though.
Great little camera otherwise.
