Bloody digital technology

I don't really use my D70 that much, it really pees you off when you go to use it and all it does is blink it's green light at you, turns on, doesn't turn off & now doesn't fire at all.

Off it goes to the repair man

damn damn damn !!! AAaAAAARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to vent.

Mic. :wink:

That really bites, Mic.

Well, apparently, the BGLOD syndrome is widespread. I wonder when it will hit mine.

Leigh's and mine both came back from their enforced holiday's last week, and mine, at least, seems better than new.

Sorry to hear Mic, tried inverting it before you take it to the doc? At least it sounds like a known problem, BGLOD, so should be a quick fix.

Yeah Kerry I'm also wondering when it will hit mine as I imagine everyone who owns one is

Sorry to hear about it Mic. I just hope that mine, touch wood, if it goes will kindly wait till I get My new D200 or D2X(still haven't made up my mind

) so at least I'll have a backup. :wink:

cheers

Aint life a bitch Mic... Maybe yours and my D70's could get acquainted in the workshop.

Gary, how far off were they from their quoted turnaround time in your case? The previous "2 weeks" turned into 6, so I'm not holding my breath on "10-14 days".

Future bglod sufferers: remove the battery once confirmed - tis a good way to unnecessarily drain the battery when left in (and it gets hot too - which can't be good).

Mic

sorry to hear that. Seems quiet a few of our members are falling victim.

Is it affecting only early models? Mine was a Christmas present so am wondering if shortly after this year if I will also be visited by that nasty green light.

Hope it doesn't take too long to get back to you.

Cheers
Deb

It has become a psychological time bomb - sorry to hear that you have been BGLOD’d Mic

sorry to hear this Mic.... :cry:

by **shutterbug** on Mon Dec 05, 2005 1:07 pm

Mic...the signs are there for a new D200 or maybe a D2X? :wink:

Blinking Green Light of Death... Search on BGLOD and you'll probably find the thread of Gary's that I'm too lazy to look up...

Never fear Mic - It should be repaired FOC (Free of Charge) by Maxwell's even if you're out of warranty...
