| Hello OMers,
| 
| My OM4T occasionally fails to wake up when I depress the
| shutter-release button. (I.e. the LCD fails to light). At this time,
| if I press the battery check button, I will get the intermittent
| beep indicating the battery is low.  Sometimes just doing the
| check seems to cure the problem, other times the camera
| balks for a few minutes, the returns to normal. I may shoot
| a whole roll with no problems, and a good battery check
| indication. Overall I think I have experienced the problem
| about four times in twenty rolls of film shot over 4 weeks.
| 
| I have already 1) taken out the batteries, wiped them and
| replaced them, 2) replaced them with brand new Energizer
| 357 batteries, and 3) checked the (new) batteries with
| a digital multimeter - reading: 1.603v, 1.600v.
| 
| Subjectively, it seems that the problem occurs in
| bright light situations, but this may actually be coincidence
| or grasping at straws.
| 
| Has anyone experienced a problem like this, or can
| anyone make a helpful suggestion on dealing with this
| problem short of CLA (out of OMoney).
| 
| Thanks,
|     - Parzival
