Hi, thanks for the detailed instructions! I just replaced my main board and the new one did not boot. The battery is charged, but the LCD shows nothing when battery is in and when the power is on. Is that a problem with the replacement main board or does it need to be programmed? I expected it to power up once the power is available.

Have you resolved your issue?

Bhaskar vedula -

I get CLOCK with low battery indication . I checked internal battery health and I replaced with new battery on motherboard . Now with new battery in place I see voltage 3.12v and still camera does show CLOCK symbols with low battery. Please let me know if there is hard reset makes default configuration.
