Dropped Nikon D5000

    Hi,

    my d5000 jumped of its tripod over the weekend. I had the screen positioned out and down at the time so that took all the impact. The screen is no longer working, it's not cracked but the case around it is. The camera itself seems to be working fine but I'm a bit anxious about using it before it gets the once over.

    Needless to say I'm extremely pissed!

    Does anyone know of any Nikon repair centres in Dublin? Has this happened to anyone before?

    Many thanks,
    S

    Ouch!

    The screens are not that expensive:

    The flip out ones are usually quite easy to replace. If there are other
    bits broken, you will have to go to a Nikon centre.

    Thats a rather unfortunate accident although lucky that the screen took the damage rather the main body of the camera.

    Is the screen arm loose at all?
    The part that has been damaged is probably the screens flexible printed circuit (FPC for short). If the case is cracked across the cable or was momentarily bent in a way it is not supposed to move the FPC could easily tear.

    I do repairs and am based in Greystones if you would like me to examine it quickly?
    As far as I know the Nikon service centre do repairs in house.
    PM me for details of repair if you are interested as Ive done a few repairs for other boards members and would be happy to do so :)
