Hi

My Olympus OMD M5 Camera started to suddenly turn itself off a coupple of times before Christmas. To fix this i had to turn it off and on again, or re-insert the battery.


Last week, i saw a white flash while looking through the glass and the camera turned off. This time its not turning on again no matter what i do.


I tried switching to a different battery, i checked the battery connectors and i have tried a "hidden" factory reset method ( hold menu button while powering on ). It wont turn on.

If i turn the camera on WHILE the battery is inserted, i can hear 1-7 mechanical 'Clicks' from inside the camera. If the battery is not inserted and i turn it on, there are no such clicks.

Here is a video where you can hear the clicks while i turn the camera off/on a few times:

Im pretty sure the battery is not the problem, but im no expert.

Does anyone know what the problem with my camera might be, or have any suggestons on how to fix it?


Any help at all would be much appreciated.
