Please help, this camera is 13 years old and I acknowledge that, with that in mind, I tried turning this thing on for the past few years and it just keep showing the empty battery indicator no matter what, I tried resetting it and checking the internal battery but it was no use. Any help is appreciated.

Is the battery charged at all. If not recharge the battery.

-Demetrius
Bodies: EOS 5D Mark IV
Lenses: EF Trinity, EF 85mm F/1.8 USM
Retired Gear: EOS 40D, EF 50mm F/1.8 STM & EF 70-210mm F/4
Speedlites: 420EX, 470EX-AI, 550EX & 600EX II-RT

It's an LP-E6NH battery and yes it is charged fully and i was suspecting that the connector between the internal battery and the power board is not connected very well. 

RC6253,

Well, if you've checked the battery and it's holding a charge, and it will operate in other cameras, you might very well be right, and there's a problem with the battery/camera connection.

So uh... what do I do, take it to a professional for repair?

RC6253,

If the battery won't hold a charge as Demetrius suggested, at 13 years old, the battery might be dead.

For the record the battery worked for other cameras, so I didn't think that was the problem but thank you for the suggestion though😃

It was charging like a normal one though, I don't see any issues with the battery.

I made sure that the battery was ok with other cameras and it was still well and alive, I tried software resetting and other community solutions but those didn't work for me in my case.

Solutions I tried: Software reset (turn camera off, remove everything including lens memory card and battery and holding down shutter button but won't light up) checking battery dead or not( checking if the battery can function normally or not) anyone able to help?Would really appreciate it😃
