Nikon d700 AC power adapter request (EH-5a AC Adapter)

    Just wondering would anyone who owns an EH-5a AC Adapter be willing to let me use it for a few minutes to test a D700 on AC power.
    Basically normally on dead cameras its a blown fuse and usually something else that caused the fault but after checking all 3 main fuses inside the camera they appear to be fine so it would be a great help to see how the camera handles AC power rather than the battery.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)

    Have a MB D10 if you want to try that!

    Thanks very much for the offer, Im pretty sure the MB D10 wont suit what I need to try with the D700 I have but it is definitely worth a shot.

    Basically have a dead D700, no response to insertion of battery which would run through a certain circuit but the AC adapter bypasses it and if the camera switched on it would give me a better idea of what else is faulty in it. MB D10 would be interesting to try however just to rule out the battery compartment connections.

    Cheers

    Thanks very much, Ill get back to you on that. I live in Greystones so I can hop on the Dart up to howth to meet.

    Yeah this one had a faulty DC/DC PCB and PD PCB (power distribution board) that I replaced but its still dead which is very odd as The D300's had a similar problem that was always one of those two at fault (and generally is for all power problems).
    What happened to your D700, did it fail randomly or through something obvious and what were the symptoms? (ie did it have any indicator on top LCD etc..)

    One day when I connected up the battery pack (its a Photix not an original MB D10) I got a burning smell. I immediatly turned off the camera but it would not turn back on. I suspect I may have touched the wrong pins to the wrong terminal but cant be sure.


    Lucky nikon repaired it for free. God bless there 2 year warranty
