I was able to charge a newer battery after diddling with the contacts before closing the battery door. Now, it seems to charge without the diddling.

NH-14WM - regular gum stick

There was some oxidation, but no change in the result. Would a totally dead battery prevent the charging? I don't want to invest in a new battery if the unit is toast. Anyone have an old battery they would donate to the cause? A cheap new battery source would also be appreciated. I also would be in the market for a battery charger is someone wanted to unload one. Thanks, Grape

I recently pulled out my MZ-R900 to see if it was still operational. When I tried to charge the battery, the charging message comes up, but the screen immediately goes blank. Any suggestions? I have not used it in about two years. I tried the replacement battery I had been using as well as the original battery. Thanks, Grape
