Hasselblad Film Back Problem / Glitch?

Over the weekend I've had some issues with film in my H1.

The film will be loaded, will wind on fine but sometimes when I go to take the shot the film won't wind on. The low battery light was showing in the back's window and I changed it, put the film in and took a couple of shots. All seemed fine.

Now, before I go on the film would unwind fine. Suggesting there was enough power there before changing the battery but anyway....

Fast forward to today and again the film was not advancing. The only way to make this happen was to remove the battery and reinsert it. All then was well again. It seems as if when the camera is left for a while it 'forgets' the back is there.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Hi Chris

Not sure if this will help, but have you tried the battery reset option? If it's the 7.2 v battery?
