Battery exhausted (by 6 users)

posted by Maurie on Aug 19, 2007


Despite inserting brand new batteries the "battery exhausted" signal appears - I am not able to take pictures. I have tried replacing the batteries at least four times and the same thing happens.

I can take pictures with new batteries but I cannot leave them in the camera overnight. They just die! Possible drain?

the same thing is happening to mine too. doesn't matter if they are rechargable nimh or brand new alakline. can get 4-5 shots and then it is dead.

what to do????

Mine works when set to 'Set up' and can recall shots from the card. Turn it to any other setting and 'Warning! Batteries exhausted' shows.
I am wondering if there is damage to the lens winder motor.
Are there user tests that can be carried out to help diagnose the problem properly?

Since my post, I have switched chargers (the "quick" charger was not putting enough charge in them I think) and have also taken a pencil eraser and cleaned the battery contacts in the camera body.

I also roughed up the older rechargable battery contacts with an emery board.

seems to be better now.

Hi,

I gave a Nikon Coolpix 3100 to my dougther as a christmas present. It was a read shame, when we all noticed that the camera started to turn itself off frequently; and in the next day the problem was that bad that she was not able to take a single shot. Nice Christmas :o(
I replaced the brand new duracell batteries with powerful rechargeable batteries (2600mAh) today, and it works fine. When I insert fresh non-rechargeable batteries the problem is here again.
I hope the situation will stay 'stable' now.

nice regards,
D.
