Dodgy Battery Connector? Camera switches off when moved

[kalari Jack]

Hey,

Before I file a support ticket I wanted to check if this is an easily fixable problem.

I notice on a shoot last week that my camera switches off when the battery is moved, even slightly. If I push it in hard enough its less flakey but if I add a little pressure to the battery the same thing happens.

Its really annoying having to wait for the camera to boot every time and I can't imagine it doing any good to the camera to have the power switch off like that.

I'm guessing there is a loose connection somewhere. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Cheers,
Krish.

Realised what was wrong when I was swapping out batteries under direct sunlight. There is a small crack on the plastic fixture that the battery mounts to.
