Nov 29, 2012 04:15 | #7 I presume you're just going to send one (or both) back for a replacement then? I think I'd just send the grip back first of all so you still have the camera, but I guess it's hard to determine which is at fault Chris Marriott Photography

apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | When I bought a grip for my 400D, several years ago, the first one I got was broken. Genuine Canon, but it didn't work out of the box. No power to the camera, but it drained the battery/batteries pretty quickly. Quick enough for the grip to become noticeably warm. Anders

I'd bet that a repair shop would want the grip and body together because there could be a problem with the contacts in the body too.

If it's a third party grip, check that the input dial on grip is not in between the click stops as this can also affect the operation. Also check the grip on/off switch you might not have fully selected one or the other Exactly what happened to me. I tightened it and haven't had a problem since. Christian
