Sounds like a power problem. Try checking voltage of battery and cleaning contacts with a cotton bud and electrical contact cleaner $8 at repco. Had a similar problem with a pentax mini slr. Verdigris (****) on battery terminals is dynamite in low current circuits. If you cant afford contact cleaner use special methylated spirit ( $3.00 at local pharmacy). Good luck Trevor

Thanks, Trevor. My dad suggested taking it up to the local camera store and trying one of their Nikon batteries, thinking along the same lines as you.
Because it happened "out of the blue" I had been assuming it was a failure within the camera circuitry or software.
Fingers crossed!
