Canon TC-80N3 Camera remote control help!

[nathan_hoefert]

<p>I've put in several batteries and when I connect it to my camera I can click the button to hear a shutter, so I know the power works on it, but my problem is the screen is blank. The screen just simply won't do a darn thing and I need it for tomorrows sunrise. Any help is greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>Nathan,</p>

<p>I have had the same thing, the battery tray bends a small spring arm out of the way and so the battery doesn't make correct contacts, the shutter release still works because that is just a switch, the battery is just for the screen and timing functions. It is an easy fix.</p>

<p>On the back of the TC-80N3 there are three small Philips head screws, undo them and you can separate the two halves, then you can get to the bent arm/spring that makes one of the battery contacts.</p>

<p>Hope this helps. </p>
