I had the exact same problem this summer, with lots of strange
behaviour from my 4T. It would die and wake up whenever it wanted,
(with the only consistent that it would always die when I had the
"picture of the year" framed.)
John H told me on the list to tighten the tiny bottom screws. Since
then it's worked flawlessly
Good luck

Hello OMers,
My OM4T occasionally fails to wake up when I depress the
shutter-release button. (I.e. the LCD fails to light). At this time,
if I press the battery check button, I will get the intermittent
beep indicating the battery is low. Sometimes just doing the
check seems to cure the problem, other times the camera
balks for a few minutes, the returns to normal. I may shoot
a whole roll with no problems, and a good battery check
indication. Overall I think I have experienced the problem
about four times in twenty rolls of film shot over 4 weeks.
I have already 1) taken out the batteries, wiped them and
replaced them, 2) replaced them with brand new Energizer
357 batteries, and 3) checked the (new) batteries with
a digital multimeter - reading: 1.603v, 1.600v.
Subjectively, it seems that the problem occurs in
bright light situations, but this may actually be coincidence
or grasping at straws.
Has anyone experienced a problem like this, or can
anyone make a helpful suggestion on dealing with this
problem short of CLA (out of OMoney).
Thanks,
- Parzival
