Going to do that probably, but I just thought that if anyone knows for sure that this is probably not a battery issue, I'm not even going to waste the $5.

Eric. Unfortunately it is the great deals on eBay that need additional investment. My KX was that way, and I sent it off to Eric to be made right. And now it's like new, save for a few cosmetic things. I highly, *highly* reccomend Eric.
I'm still okay with the deal because the lenses were fine (I did not get the 40-80 but honestly it was wishful thinking on my part, since it was not listed in the auction BUT the camera was shown with it mounted) and they alone were worth the price.
I would send it off to Eric in a jiffy if it was plausible, but I'm in Sweden. Shipping it back and forth to America would, again, cost more than the camera is worth. I really would like to have it functioning well though because it breaks my heart a little bit to see a nice camera like this in disrepair. (Yes, I'm a nerd, I guess)
