Side handle not working??

[Justin Marx]

My side handle stopped working? The screen lights up, but nothing comes up?

I re-installed firmware (removed side handle)

Any ideas?

Mine stopped working at one point...if you have re-seeded it, try killing all power to the cam (remove batteries too), then try reseeding, power up. See if that works...worked for me.

I just had the same problem.
What does "reseeding" it involve?
Thanks for any info

I think he meant re-seating it. Remove the side handle from the brain and re-attach using the large thumb screw.

 

[nigelsmith]

Doh!
Thanks Trent, I'll try that.

 

[Justin Marx]

Will try this now!

Doesn't work, any other ideas?

Mine was working again earlier - I started up the camera without the LCD attached and the s/h display worked!
However I shut camera down to replace s/h battery and it stopped working again
This has only happened since upgrading to v3.2.16
I'm going to have to file a ticket....

Anyone else having this problem??

 

[Michael Totten]

Yes, I have the same problem. Side handle brand new - used once. Tested on 3 different Epic Bodies.
These two threads should be one.

Must be software related.

Justin,

Doesnt hurt to send a support ticket with a log file to see if we can trouble shoot based on the information from the camera.

Side handle still not working, anyone else having this problem? RED wants me to send my SH in, anyone had any luck getting it to work without sending it in??

Thanks!

One of my SHs stopped powering up using a Redvolt. I was doing a take and it just lost power. Put the camera on AC power and the SH worked fine, other than powering the camera with a Redvolt. Tried it on a second camera and the same thing. My other SH worked fine with Redvolts on both cameras. Filed a ticket, sent a log file, then the SH. Just received it back a few days ago and it works fine.
