H3DII back LED flashing

Up until today my H3DII-31 was working fine, upon inserting the battery now the LED on the back flashes red and refuses to start.
Anyone got any ideas as to what's going on and if anywhere still services these older generation cameras?

What LED?
Try removing the back from the body and cleaning the contacts.
If you can borrow another camera try determine if it is the back or the body (or the battery).
Hasselblad will service them but the cost is usually beyond the value.
You can use an H3D-II back on an H4 body and gain the advantage of True Focus.

Is there a CF card in it? Pop the back off the body & attach it to a computer via firewire cable - does it do the same error? +1 for Bob's recommendation on cleaning the contacts.
Is there a discernible pattern to the flashes?
