-
- This is one way to make a quick buck repairing T90's. The camera has a
- LITHIUM battery under the top cover that's used to keep a small CMOS
- RAM chip that holds exposure number, etc.
-
- When the battery dies, the camera does this.
-
- Since the top cover needs to be removed, expect to pay $30-$50 for it.
-
- Do not pay for a new shutter, cpu, etc.
