[SOLVED] Camera is a brick after installing new ML version

[steveh]

I tried to post this on another page and not sure if it went up or not.
sorry if this is a repost.

new ML loaded to camera 5d2 just yesterday.
worked fine for day and a half and an hour ago the camera just shut down.
new batteries inserted.  still doesn't work
new cards inserted.  no dice.

i have tried the suggested pull the card battery and remove lens and start over.  no dice.

any clue how i can revive this camera so it will turn on?

thanks

i did try the stuff on the first link.
not the second yet.

HOWEVER, i have gotten the camera started after leaving the battery out for a few hours AND trying a card that had never had the ML firmware stuff on it.  worked great.

so I put my 32G lexar card back in with ML firmware on the root and boom.  camera dead again.
then popped the battery back out to reset it, then put the battery back in and put the non-ML firmware cards back in and it starts up again.

I then put in a 16G lexar card in the camera WITH ML firmware on the card and the camera worked just fine.  could pull up the menu no problem.  camera started up just fine.. Weird.

So i need to reformat these 32G cards in a different camera and retry it in the 5d2 to see if it shuts off the camera.

weird deal.  I'll update as I go along.
thanks for the links.

Read the install guide, especially the bold things.
