Canon 7D Error 40

[Rye]

Today I went to turn on my 7D and got a blank LCD. Reached in my bag for a fresh battery, popped it in, got an "Error 40". I tried two other charged batteries and got the same result. Took off and re-mounted the lens, took out and put back in the CF card, turned the camera back on and it worked fine after that. I'm also finding that if I leave a dead battery or a battery that's low on charge in it then put in a fresh battery the camera forces me to reset the date and time as soon as I turn it back on.

Anyone else have this experience? I was thinking maybe a weak or dead internal battery?

You may want to contact Canon. There are plenty of people posted on other forums who have similar problem.

I'm not sure this video would help.
