[QUOTE="chebushev, post: 202207, member: 16926"] Hi guys, new here. This happened out of the blue. One second im taking pictures, the next im going what!?!?! Issue:1. The information lcd on top is displaying random crap, its like the microchip went crazy. 2. The information inside the viewfinder is no present. Things I have tried: 1. Remove battery, memory card, leave it off for hours 2. Charge the battery completely. 3. Put in a rice bowl for 2 days. I am running out of ideas, I bought this camera used, and its not worth sending to Nikon repair. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW, I tried the hard reset (2 green buttons) and it didnt do anything. Thanks guys [COLOR=#000000]UPDATE: [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I have emailed the seller who I bought the camera from.
