Oly. E-520 CF card not working
Feb 15, 2014 15:13:57 #
I have an Olympus E-520 that was boxed for a few months.
Battery was removed, put a working battery in and it will not power up. Take card out, remove the battery and camera powers up without the card. All settings are there. When I put the CF card in camera it won't power up.
Any help please.
Thanks,
Sam

Try a different card. Or put that card in a card reader attached to your computer and format the card, then try it in the camera again.

Thanks, but I don't have a card reader. I use USB to download my pix. to PC. I have tried 3 other cards.

Then I would suggest shining a light into the empty card slot to see if you have any bent pins, they are very fragile.

Pins are good, does the same on the XD card.

Sounds like its time for a new camera then. Electronic repairs on those older Oly 4/3 cameras will cost more than the replacement value of the camera.
