Thanks Jon M, Chris B and Julian D for the replies. Will try the 30sec
battery test, read the circuit board web site and let you know. Tell me
more about the London meet as I'm new to the maillist.
Cheers

My OM4 is 1107711, bought new in 1989, and its battery check stops at
30 seconds. This apparently indicates a post-mod system, from early
discussions. Anyway, I have never had a problem with excessive
battery drain.
