30D just stopped, normal???

My 30D stopped working just after I took a shot, no warning, no error message, just lifeless, is this normal, I've tried all the tricks, doors shut correctly, battery full charged, second battery checked etc but with no luck.

The battery works in my second 30D it not that, any other suggestions

Thanks.

Steve

No. It's not.

Have you taken out the main battery as well as the date/time battery to reset the camera?

Electronics can die a number of ways and this is one of them. Sometimes they quit. Sometimes they don't turn on the next time around. Sometimes they give signs that they are going and sometimes they don't. I would try replacing the CMOS battery and if that doesn't fix it, send it to repair.

Yes, tried all the usual suspects.

Yep, looks like it's off to Canon for a quote.

Thanks all, I was just hoping I missed something really simple, but no, it's dead.
