    Send it back. Moultrie has a great customer service. I had that issue before. Not sure what caused it but they sent me a brand new one.

    I had 3 d40s, now I have 3 dead d40s. Everyone I know around here that had one had it die on them. And none of us could even get ahold of the customer service. I will never buy another Moultrie camera, sounds like Im a minority though :confused:

    I beg to differ on their customer service, it's great! I had a D40 go bad on me (owned 7 of them, sold 4 of them so now I have 3) and sent it in 2 days before the warranty expired. They sent me a new d50 (d40 is discontinued) 3 weeks later. :rock:

    A lot of people have said the customer service was good, so I guess I just got the short end of the stick? Oh well, I'm sticking with Primos :tu:

    They are no longer in production, but that doesn't mean retailers aren't trying to get rid of them still. I would not pay $99 for a discontinued camera, besides I got all of mine for 59.99 on sale.

    even at 59.99 you expect them to work right?

    I agree there, I got a bushnell for x-mas and i went online to see some reviews and the cam was listed as also discontinued. I put it out last month and it took 5 pics and then nothing batterys dead.

    I took a bushnell back last night i pulled yesterday it was full of water from a recent rain and killed 18.00 worth of lithium battery's it took 140 pics of almost nothing.
    does anyone think the people that make these cams even test them?
