Hi XKAES,
Thanks for your reply.
To reply to you:
- Yes, all the batteries I tested it with are FULLY charged. All of them also work with a colleague's camera body.
- YES. The camera only starts when connected to a USB power source (through my laptop, not an AC power) and I can then gain FULL access to the camera as normal as you can see in the video with the cable off the camera. The camera works normally then, I can take as many photos as I want, shoot 4K movies and reads/writes on the SD card with no issues. Note that this one battery is the only one I own with which this works. Other batteries do not allow me to start the camera via USB strangely. Also, this one battery does not need to be fully charged in order for me to boot via USB.
- You mention instructions "above" but I do not see any links or instructions. The camera's manual also does not give any instructions regarding replacement. I did find in there how to charge this internal battery, which I already tried (2days connected to an outlet with camera power OFF), but no luck there... Could you by any chance refer me to or attach any relevant information to help me find the internal MEMORY battery and replace it myself?
Many thanks again for your time
