Have you tried it without the grip on? Might as well rule out any weird compatability issue with the two.

Use canned air and blow around the shutter button vigorously, might help if there is some gunk underneath.
Take out battery first.


What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

i unscrewed the battery grip as much as i could (the handstrap is too much of a pain to take off) and turned it off, and it still wouldnt fire. i'll try the canned air idea soon. thanks guys.
