Re: Nikon Coolpix 5000 - cmos battery?

My Nikon Coolpix 5000 is just coming up to four years old. It provided
good service up until a few weeks ago but it's now started behaving
oddly, losing various settings at random such as the image storage
size. Last Saturday it "forgot" the date and time and reset itself to
midnight on 1st January 2000.

That's similar to what happened to my Nikon 950:
I suspect the internal memory capacitor is bad or the charging circuit
is bad.
I haven't found any replacement for it yet.

Chieh
