This Canon 40D has been in the closet for 3-4 years...stored in a camera bag...with no battery or card in it. I tried using it and it won;t even fire up/ Tried charged older batteries and a new third party battery. I have read that the date/time battery in the battery door can cause this, but this camera has abattery grip and the original battery door was removed. It belojged to my son, who passed away, so I do't know if he kept the old door or not, but it was working with this setup at one time. Any ideas on what to check?>. I want to pass this down to my grandson (his son).
