Nikon D80 Battery Problem

jamieh · 2009-08-06 18:00:29

Hi all, Lost the charger for my camera so I bought a new one today, an official Nikon one. Haven't used the camera in months. The charge light stays flashing for a few seconds then remains constant. Does this mean that it's not charging? After a 20 minute "charge" I put the battery into the camera but it's dead.

See what firmware version you have too, the v1.1 i think had a load of battery indicatior problems. something to do with their being a chip in the Enel 3e batteries i think.
I updated my firmware and it was perfect.
