It may have a dead battery. The data back takes one of those flat lithioids
that is about as big as a quarter, 2032 comes to mind, but I am probably
wrong.
If the battery is good, and the back works, there should be something
showing on the small LCD on the camera back, even just a few dash marks,
indicating it is turned off.
