I've just purchased a Used Canon 30D Camera and it has stopped working but the access lamp remains lit even in the off position, there is no power getting to the camea at all except for this access lamp. It was working fine the day before. The battery was fully charged as well. Does anyone know what it coould be or had the same problem?

What do you mean by the access lamp?
Try removing both batteries - the main battery and the cell battery, leave it for 5 mins and re-insert.

the access is the light on the bottom right hand side of the dial at the back of the camera, just tried taking both cameras out but it still doesn't work - it's still doing the same thing - Thanks for your reply though :)

Ok. Do it again but remove the lens and memory card.

yeah just tried that and its still the same, I didn't pay alot for the camera so I guess it wont hurt me to send it to off get repaired... Thanks for all your help though - much appreciated, I've got an Olympus E-420 as back up till I can have a mess around with the Canon.

Shame. I have not come across this before. Good Luck

I'll let you know what the problem was when I get it back.... Thanks again.

if you haven't sent it off already, clean the contacts on the battery and the camera. if there is a spring, make sure it isn't flat. probably not the issue, but wouldn't hurt to confirm as much as possible before you ship it. does the display come on at all or does it give you an error?
