[QUOTE="Esteila, post: 843883, member: 53437"] That 'white screen' test is such a lifesaver for narrowing down if it’s the shutter or the electronics. If your test shots are coming out white with no lens on, it’s a good sign that your sensor is actually still firing, which is much better news than a dead sensor! Usually, when I see that, it ends up being a lens communication issue or just a really extreme exposure setting. Before you send it off to Nikon, maybe try cleaning the contacts on your lens and the camera body with a bit of isopropyl alcohol. Also, if you're just trying to test your sensor's color and edge-to-edge clarity without the lens interference, I sometimes use a green screen test pattern on my monitor and then run the file through a transparency checker like this- [URL]https://thetoolapp.com/image-tools/remove-green-screen-from-image/[/URL] - it’s a quick way to see if there’s any weird banding or dead pixel clusters appearing in the raw data before you commit to a repair shop.
