My recently purchased T90 doesn't respond when the remote shutter switch is used. Is this problem easily repaired?

That's the question, now for the other remarks. Winter is fast approaching and the T70 has started "groaning" in the cold like last winter and, after becoming accustomed to the auto stuff I purchased an old well used T90 to see if it could withstand the cold so I could use it outside like the FTb's I have.

I cold soaked the T90 in the freezer overnight and tried it out in the morning. First shutter operation produced EEE. Did the battery check and dry fired a few more and everything works OK and it is relatively quiet.

Wow, what a machine!! It has the PC connector modification and stops the film on rewind with an inch or so of leader still outside the cassette. Viewfinder is really bright and the exposure meter does everything I need. Hard to believe the "Tank" can do 4.5 exposures/sec. Too bad Canon "Dead Ended" the FD system. Regards.

It depends on what the problem is.

Did you try the remote cable on a different camera?

Did you clean the contacts?

Petzi, the remote switch works on my T70 and I cleaned the contacts on the T90. I was hoping for a clue on how to get inside the lower part of the camera in the grip area easily.:D

There is a material covering the grip which is close to the remote shutter connector. I'm wondering, is there an easy "way in" under that covering?

Regards.
