it's moribund, there are flickers of response, but after 2 secs it dies. and yes i tried two fresh sets of batteries.
it's odd, because the lens cap had been jamming for a couple of months, i'd have to tap it for it to fully open, then i dropped it the other day, (first time), and the lenscap worked again.
2 more days of normal life then this...
