I recently purchased a used 1D IV in great condition, less than 10K shutter actuations and body looks new, from a legit member on FM. Well it gets here and right out of the box it will not turn on. I've been in contact will the member and he swears it worked when he packaged it, so I'm guessing it was dropped or run over or something en route (thanks USPS!). Anyway, not really too concerned with that..
My question is has anyone else had a Canon camera that won't power up? And if so what route did you have to go to get it working again, or was it ultimately bricked?
Current plan is to visit my local camera shop tomorrow to have them look it over and hopefully test the battery in another body. I'm not holding much hope this will resolve the issue but it's a starting point. Next will be to call up Canon directly and see what I'm looking at dollars wise for them to inspect and possibly fix the body. Probably not worth the expense and I don't even know if they still work on bodies this old but I want to use the damn thing.
Open to suggestions.
