[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 645509, member: 43924"] Hi Via, From what you're describing, a stuck or damaged LV switch seems to be the only logical explanation. As I understand it, you'd have to dismount the top part of your camera since the innards of that switch will only be accessible from underneath. I'm not aware of how exactly to disassemble a D5500, but you may find [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGqHpswpqMo"]this video[/URL] helpful - it is for a different Nikon model but one that has a similar overall layout, so it may give you hints on how to go about opening your body. With lucky, there is just something mechanically blocking the switch that can be removed without leaving any damage. Otherwise, you'd have to get a spare part, which probably makes using a Nikon repair service inevitable. EDIT: I just noticed that a few sellers offer the mode dial + LV switch as a replacement part on EBay. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
