G2 menu failure

Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I have a g2 for 3 years TROUBLE FREE but xmas 2003 ohh. When I press menue I canot change anything with the four way switch. all settings seem to be fixed at origional settings. ie I cant change resolution, flash etcsettings etc . Someone said there was a small clock battery inside the camera "where? the time is still showing correct. Do I need to install firmware?

This is my first posting of message.
I must say the G2 was super over the 3 years I had it.

Hi iDan,

Happy New Year to all for 2004 and to the ultimate camera.

Hi Alex,

Do your "4 arrows" button key is ok? Can you change the focus zone (3 small squares)?

Hi Dan,
Yes it is the 4 way omni selector , the lower button is not making contact, the left, right and top working. I will have to send it in for service to replace switch.

I also tried removing both batteries but no fix.
Many Thanks
Alex

All fixed, just cleaned 4 way switch with blast of compressed air, probably a bit of Christmas cake
