Shenandoah Posted April 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2017 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Pellegrini Posted April 1, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2017 Sorry to say, I have had to many problems with my 109 which is why I went back to using my D-Lux 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenandoah Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 1, 2017 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... https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+bring+a+camera+battery+back+to+life&view=detail&mid=A234325716B64C0A27BBA234325716B64C0A27BB&FORM=VIRE Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted April 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2017 Sadly Lithium batteries don't like being drained completely. I hope you can get them working again, I love my typ 109. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted April 1, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Some early LX100 copies, including mine, have had battery issues. See for example: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3943616#forum-post-57556498 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3929849 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3878907#forum-post-56201898 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3755019#forum-post-54770752 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. Edited April 1, 2017 by lct 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
