When I turn on my Olympus Mju 300 Digital, the green and orange lights
blink concurrently, together with beeping, even though the battery is
fully charged. As I understand it, this behaviour is supposed to signify
that the battery is empty.

I have measured the battery voltage to be 4.1V, and since it is a 3.7V
battery, it is not empty. In addition, the camera behavious identically
with an external power supply (4.8VDC).

In detail, the green and orange lights blink concurrently about 4 times
a second, with a beep for every two blinks. It stops after about ten
seconds, and happens in the following three situations: when I insert
the battery, when I open the lens cover, and when I press the "Quick
View" button.

Has anybody else had this problem with this camera (or a related model)?

Best regards,
Torquil

How about a defective or non-formatted memory card? does it do this with it
in or out?

The memory card is in order, because I have managed to extract all the
pictures it contained with an usb card reader. And the camera behaves
the same with and without the memory card installed.

Thanks,
Torquil

Hi All,

I'm also facing the same problem. The blinking light problem started after i downloaded all my pics into the PC. Even worse, my zoom len is not able to go back to the original position and i couldn't close the slide of my digicam. Please help!!!! What would be the problem? Is it due to no current is being detected by the digicam? All these problem started last weekend for the first time.

Would appreciate your help.
