John:

I thought the same thing (corrosion) so I checked the battery holder 
with a DVM.  The batteries are really dead dead dead. So dead that 
some actually read negative with a DVM. I've never seen alkaline 
batteries with a negative output. I took the drive off the camera 
when the camera I just sent you jammed and left it setting with 
batteries installed.  I -may- have left the switch in the ON position.
  Otherwise I didn't do anything unusual.  It was dead when I tried 
to test it with the repaired camera.

Any ideas?

Tom
