Being new to this list I am wondering if anyone has ever had a problem with the N-70QD date back constantly resetting and the LCD display going blank? My wife bought me a new N-70QD for Christmas and I immediately noticed a problem with the quartz date back resetting itself to 1-1-94 and LCD going blank a couple seconds after touching the shutter release. After replacing the data back battery three times I finally sent the camera to Nikon's California repair facility and when I received it back noticed the problem was still the same even though Nikon had replaced the back and batteries. I called the dealer I bought it from, Competitive Cameras of Garland, Texas, and they said bring it back and we'll replace it. They changed out the back the same day I received the N-70 back from Nikon and the date has been correct ever since. A Nikon tech rep called me and said they hadn't had a problem such a mine before and the paperwork showed the camera had worked perfectly when it left the repair facility. Anyone else have a similar problem? Sorry about the long message. Tom Anderson Bedford, Texas
