george mehallick Posted March 16, 2021 Share #1  Posted March 16, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Guys. I have a TL2 that will not power on. I was using it a couple months ago on a copy stand shooting negatives. A few months later when I went back to the project the camera will not power on. I plugged in a USB-c cable to the side and no charging lights. I pulled the battery and put it into the wall charger and a few hours later I got the green "charged" LED indictor on the wall charger. Put it back into the TL2 and still wont power on. Any thoughts?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandokan Posted March 16, 2021 Share #2  Posted March 16, 2021 It is either a faulty battery or camera. Go to your dealer and see if he has another battery to try in yours or a camera to try your battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring for your digital camera and battery: Keep the product away from strong magnetic fields: Do not use or store this device near devices that generate electromagnetic radiation or very strong magnetic fields. Static charges or magnetic fields emitted by devices such as radio transmitters can cause interference on the screen, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the camera's internal circuitry.

george mehallick Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share #6  Posted March 20, 2021 Well I tried a new battery, still does not power on. How disappointing seeing as its only been used on a copystand.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 20, 2021 Share #7  Posted March 20, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) It might be a good idea to clean the contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
george mehallick Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share #8  Posted March 21, 2021 How? Alchohol ISP 99% on a cotton swab?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 22, 2021 Share #9 Â Posted March 22, 2021 I'd prefer a drop of Contact Spray Be careful not to use too much.It should not spread beyond the contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
