Pulled the camera yesterday and assumed the batteries were done. Placed a new set in and now it shows 0206 (old firmware, I know) a red LED flashes (regardless of the dial setting) and then nothing. Tried another set of batteries and with an SD card and without, no worky...

Any thoughts before it hits the trash can, camera has been really good for me over the last 5-6 years, still have one functioning.

Thanks!!

Try scuffing up the battery contacts with some sandpaper. Sometimes they oxidize and you don't get good contact.

Scuffed both sides with 80 grit and it appears the battery terminals are in good condition. Also checked the connection at the board and everything looks reasonable. It acts like the software is corrupt, I tried downloading the new SW from an SD but can't get it to load as the buttons are unresponsive.

Sell it on as a security dummy cam.
