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?
This is typically the sign of a capacitor somewhere in the system that is retaining charge, completely disconnecting will allow that stored charge to dissipate.
Back in the day, it used to be recommended that you push the power button while its unplugged to discharge the capacitors. I don’t know if it still works.
