When I turn on my Olympus Mju 300 Digital, the green and orange lights
blink concurrently, together with beeping, even though the battery is
fully charged. As I understand it, this behaviour is supposed to signify
that the battery is empty.

I have measured the battery voltage to be 4.1V, and since it is a 3.7V
battery, it is not empty. In addition, the camera behavious identically
with an external power supply (4.8VDC).

In detail, the green and orange lights blink concurrently about 4 times
a second, with a beep for every two blinks. It stops after about ten
seconds, and happens in the following three situations: when I insert
the battery, when I open the lens cover, and when I press the "Quick
View" button.

Has anybody else had this problem with this camera (or a related model)?

Best regards,
Torquil

How about a defective or non-formatted memory card? does it do this with it
in or out?

The memory card is in order, because I have managed to extract all the
pictures it contained with an usb card reader. And the camera behaves
the same with and without the memory card installed.

Thanks,
Torquil
