It powers on, but when you press the shutter button it makes a small click and then shuts off. To get the camera to power up again you must remove the battery. It never displays an error code or anything. It is in otherwise good condition, never been abused, gotten wet, etc.

Sep 22, 2010 14:37 | #6 I did already purchase a replacement 40D - I needed something inexpensive, fast, and familiar for a trip I was leaving on a few days later. I'm just now getting around to deciding what to do with the broken 40D.
