I have a Leaf Aptus II 12 and i use it mostly for my fine art.
Few months ago it started to slow down and recently we had an accident in which the back fell(along with the tripod) on the floor.
The display stopped working but the digital back worked fine on my sinar P3.
Now the digital back starts but it stops after few minutes both on the Sinar P3 and the Hasselblad.
On the Sinar P3 it just dissapear from capture one and on the Hassy it says "Digital back has no power" even if it has a fully charged battery.
The problem is that somedays the whole thing(sinarP3 tethered and hassy with battery) works fine.
I am trying to find a solution that make sense financially because the digital back is worth very little and Phase wants a ton of money to fix it.
I've read of the Aptus problems with the internal battery and i was wondering if this could be the cause of these problems.
I don't need the display to work since i only use this back on the Sinar and i double checked the cables, computer and repeater and battery.
I am not an expert but if it was something like the firewire board or something else it would not work at all so now i am thinking of the battery or
maybe some setting that is on the back and i can't change it since the display doesn't work.
Anyway if anyone had the same problem and has any info on what this could be please let me know.
Thank you
