So one day my DSLR stopped working, it doesn’t turn on anymore. I removed battery, recharged it to make sure it has juice but camera still doesn’t turn on.
I found a YouTube video suggesting to remove sd card, battery, lens overnight and should work the next day. But it didn’t happen for me. So i just let it sit there on its bag for 2 weeks. I completely forgot about it and today it started working again after putting the battery in and sd card.
What happened there?
I work in IT and see this a bit. I put it down to voltage where it shouldn’t and it takes a while for it to dissipate.
Or: a software glitch in need of a hard reset.
Most electronics have a lot of capacitors to stabilize the input voltage.
When the device is in some low power state, it can take a surprisingly long time until these run out of their charge after disconnecting external power.
It wouldn’t surprise me if an accidental load of static electricity got inside the electronics. Would certainly take a while to dissipate through air, especially air trapped inside the device.
Nevertheless, it might be worth trying grounding all the terminals that usually connect to the battery.
