I think I mentioned this awhile back... I have an OM-4 on layaway. It's
priced at CDN$450 (around US$300)... not a great price, but given that
it comes with a 90 day warranty and is in good (not LN but good) shape,
I'm happy. Anyway...
When I did the "battery test mode" test, the light came on for around 30
seconds or so and then went out, so that means it's got the newer
ciruit. However, there was NO "beep" or other noise. Does that
indicate there's a problem other than (maybe?) a dead "beeper"???
Thanks!
Regards,
Chris
