Hi,

I got a Nikon Coolpix P520 in a defective condition, few weeks ago. The battery is a 3.7V 1000mA Li-Ion battery, it was almost completely discharged.

The symptons (back in time):
-Not starting
-Not charging

Disassembled, then found few things. There was a short on the line of the battery feed rail and the USB charger port's fuse was also wrong.
Fed 3.7V to the battery line with a bench PS and a small ceramic capacitor warmed up next to the battery positive point. Just removed this cap and confirmed, it was bad. There is no...
