Well grabbed the oldgirl out tonight for a look and well i think she has decided to give up as all i get on the top screen is FOR flashing so formatted and yeh still nothing wont take a picture or anything.
Might take to Adelaide next month and drop of to Hajima and see if it can be revived but looks like a good excuse for a new camera soon.

Nothing like a "drop test" to finally kill something off.

That is unfortunate for you.
Glad it was only your backup though, but annoying all the same. Get well soon

Sad news indeed...
My D70 said the same thing (FOR) last night, just as the first band started playing! I was a little worried at first, but a quick format fixed it.
Hope it's not an early warning sign.. It's my only cam...

More likely to be accidentally triggering a two-button format - would this be a possibility?
Cheers

Yeah it's quite possible, and probably what happened. It's on about 16,000 shutter count which is low I would think.
