    Lots of YouTube video on how to fix it

    • I have tried most of them. Non of them did not worked for me.
      I think it is due to its mechanical part and need to change its motor’s gear!!!

  • It's many generations old; you're probably much better off upgrading with a secondhand d7000 or something higher if you can afford it (if you still do want to stick with a DSLR).

  • Where are you located? There are places that service Nikon and Canons. Found this out when I took mine to a big Melbourne store who said it would be 2 weeks…did some searching around as I needed it done sooner….found a place and after speaking with them found out they service the camera's for the store I took it too…and at a much cheaper price.

    • I’m located in Sydney

      • Ah bugger. Don't know any similar stores up there. Definitely worth asking as you'll only be stung a whole lot sending it direct and taking it to a retail store…as they will just add their margin and send it off to a local camera repair store.

  • Did you drop it recently?
    I had a D5200 a while back and I accidently dropped it to a tarmac with heavy force while running.
    After turning it back on I had a similar error and it made a weird noise and had slight scratch in viewfinder from inside.
    Fortunately for me, after some tries with on-off, press shutter and shaking it, it started to work again and it still works perfectly after 3 years.

    • NO, I did not dropped at all

  • it is often then assembly that controls the aperture lever. it closes the aperture down and raise the mirror.

    • It is stock at the middle.I have released it but it was stopped at the same place!!
