Canon 7D start problem (1 Viewer)

I have had my 7D for about 3yrs now and am pleased with it. I tried to use the camera this morning and nothing. Whilst switching on, the red led light on the bottom right by the wheel flickered shortly, and the upper top screen shows a white battery flickering then this goes out! The camera does nothing at all. I replaced both batteries with the spares still the same scenario. There's no error code either. I removed the grip and cleaned inside camera pins and grip pins still nothing
Has anyone had a similar occurrence, and is there an answer??
Kind regards. Mike

Thanks Dave! this is the weirdest thing! I have many times after using the camera, taken it out again a week later with no problem! and also when the batteries are spent! used my back up set to carry on again with no problem! Knowing full well that the spares might have discharged slightly but will work ok.
I thought there could have been a connection or dirty terminals with the grip but no. I have charged all four batteries now and and last night low and behold it came back to life? This morning all still seems ok no discharge as such! I suppose this has given me a wake up call having now cleaned all possible terminals and camera it's self. And not to take things for granted again. Mike


Now where and when is this 7D mk11 available
Again thanks Dave.
