I had my camera stored too long, it seems, for the battery was dead and it would not charge. Bought some no-brsnd chepo batteries on-line. The camera turned on (and works) with them (they had a charge from the factory), but it will not charge. If I attach power, be it from a charger or a power bank, if the camera is ON, it goes into "USB" mode (what you get when you attach it to a computer and turn on), and there’s a red diode shining on the back. If I turn it off, there is no yellow charge light.
Beforem when I had a working (original) battery, it was no problem attaching a powerbank to it, and let the camera use that until the powerbank was empty, and then the camera would switch to its internal battery. And it has not been a problem draining the battery all the way before. Before I shell out for an original battery (≈USD 60/€60…), do you think the camera is broken, is there something that I can reset, is there somnething I can do once I get an original battery?
