" ...  It doesn’t turn on or even charge anymore.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It won't connect to the camera when it freezes and the battery has to completely run down and then you have to recharge it again before it will reconnect and then it only works for an hour or so before it freezes again. ... So it basically is only useable for about an hour a day because it takes hours for the battery to die and then recharge.  ...  "
