I thought that the battery drain fix and the flash ready light fix were part
of the same procedure. I didn't know they were separate items. Sounds like
they ar, though, if you had a circuit board replace done and still the old
style flash ready. Thats's interesting to me because the spare body I have
DOES have the flash ready mod. Perhaps I can salvage that mod in to my
working body if I dare ....
