I did. I pulled everything off after sitting 30 hours with no batteries,
put a battery in just the body (not even the HLD grip) and it's still
dead. Makes zero sounds. Just sits there.

Just got back from three days in Rome and a 7-day Greek cruise.
Yesterday, right before we were getting off the bus to walk to Trevi Fountain,
I pressed the shutter on my E-M5 to grab a shot of whatever it was we were
standing next to, and the camera locked up and went dark. I knew it couldn't be
batteries since I had one in the grip as well as the body.
I ended up shooting the fountain with the iPhone...
Got back to the hotel, charged two batteries up and put them back in the
camera. Nothing. Decided to try the let-it-sit-without-batteries-for-24-hours
trick. Just got home after no batteries for 30 hours - nada.
I looks like my E-M5 may have just died. Not good. A new body ain't in the
budget right now.
Anyone have any suggestions before I call Olympus and see how much it might
cost to get it repaired?
If I decide to just go with a clean used E-M1, will I still be happy? A new
body for $1200 or $1600 ain't gonna happen any time soon.
At least it held up through the first two days in Rome and on the cruise
through Greece.
I am, as they say, not happy. Especially since I know I have some shoots coming
up in the next month...
