OK i last used my camera last Sunday to upload a bunch of pictures i took the previous night via the firewire connection. Everything went well.
Now today (Wednesday) I went to look at my camera again and the top panel LCD was totally blank, but the button was left 'on' i forgot to turn it off but i left the battery on 2/3rds charge.
OK fair enough i left it on as you do and the battery has run out of juice. So i took it out put it in the charger aaannd.... nothing, nowt, zip.
The charge light never came on, i took the battery out, cleaned it, put it in the charger, still nowt.
Am i right in assuming the battery is totally dead or is it just run right down and i have to leave it for a bit? I suspect that i left the camera connected to the computer via the firewire for several hours, could that have drained the battery out? I got distracted from the desk and i did come back to remove the camera a few hours later but i didnt look at it then.
any suggestions?
Its a Nikon EN-EL3e Li-ion 7.4 v 1500mAh battery that came with the camera.
Help!
