Sue,
Hmmm... I had a seemingly similar problem with my 5300. After going
through 2 or 3 batteries and a new poweradapter or two, it finally worked
itself out.
Not a pleasant thought to ponder, "How many batteries & power adapters am
I gonna need to buy before this thing finally works itself out?"
I know this probably doesn't help...
:(
