The mirror isn't up, it's still down. The batteries test fine (beeps
nicely), I'll try the flipping on and off and I'll try brand-new batteries,
although they are new.
I'm not going to beat up the seller, as the combination deal I got on
everything was quite good. Even with the CLA, I come out ok and he was fair
and honest on the condition, even through in an extra OM-1MD body.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Tom
