Michael - did you press the little "re-set" button on the camera front?

Usually works with a lock-up.

My OM2 has been doing this off and on for a couple of years now and this 
topic has come up here too in the last 8 months. There have been several 
suggestions that may or may not work; use an eraser to clean the battery 
contacts; there's apparently (going from memory here so someone else 
might comment) a wire near the battery compartment that sometimes has a 
solder joint come undone.

In my machine, I think I have narrowed the problem down to mirror lock-up as 
the photos being taken at the time are usually oK. Puzzles my repairman 
too.
