The strangest thing happened to me this morning. My E-10 would not power up. I had been shooting and all of a sudden it goes blank,no response. I changed the batteries and got nothing. I tried four different sets of batteries including a set of brand new ones, and nothing. As I was ready to call Olympus, with their $395 minumum charge for repair, I tried one more time with a set of cheap alkaline batteries. The camera powered up and is working fine. I even tried several of the other batteries and all is well (at this moment). I was working in a fairly clean environment and checked all that I could for dirt or foreign objects on the contacts and all of it looks just fine.
I was just wondering if any of you have had similar experiences.
Thanks for any input you may have.
