(Sorry if any of you are gals )

Thanks for your replies, I'll give cleaning it a go.

As I said though it isn't _too_ much of a problem, it only happens when I shove the battery right up when it's on to connect a cable...I suppose I shouldn't connect it when it's on anyway!

@chunkhead - "Your screws are loose at the bottom, but tighten
them all just to be sure!!!"
- Sorry, you lost me mate, what screws :S?

@294taa - "i made special battery holder for flashing"
-So, how does it kinda work? The datacable I have has a battery holder thing, but it still means raising the battery which means dodgy contacts I suppose?

Thanks again guys
