[quote author=“jonnygemini”]Yes…I’ve tried charging the lithium ion battery that came with it…it’s a Konica Minolta Dimage G400 and the battery must be removed from the cam and hooked up to a cradle ac charger…manual says charge for 2.5 hours and I’ve tried that like 6 times…everytime I place the battery in the charger the red charging indicator lights up and it turns to green full fairly quickly from having charged it so many times now…Problem is when I put it in the cam and slide the lens cover back…nothing happens no autostart with the quickness or nothing…However, I do see a green power indicator on the cam light up everytime I close the lens cover and I hear that distinct electronic high pitched whine when the cover is open like the camera is on…I’m totally at a loss and since I received said cam as a present from my usually technophobic girlfriend I would prefer to resolve this issue without returning the cam unless absolutely necessary…Am I missing anything obvious? The cam was purchased brand new from reputable web site…
Did you try calling Minolta tech support?
