[QUOTE="Lynnster, post: 648942, member: 44391"] Hi all! New here with older camera! Bought hubby's D800 in Nov 2013 and all had been great. Camera has less than 30K shots but Houston...we have a problem! While night-shooting2 days ago, my hubby's D800 quit working! He'd taken several shots using tripod just fine, but when he selected Live View & hooked up cable release wire all went south. The shutter release button/shooting button made a click sound but it was "incomplete" for lack of a better term. No image could be taken because the shutter won't move & mirror stays up. There's a flashing ERR in top LED screen. When camera turn off & back on, the mirror comes down but shutter never moves. The camera is inoperable in all shooting modes. (the battery taken out, put back, SD card removed/put back, tried 2 button reset but not functional) The Live View mode button is inoperable as well. The large & small LED screens function & he's able to view all prior pics. The attached photo shows the mirror box/shutter assembly area. In comparison to his D300, it seems that the silver triangular piece showing on the back lower left might be the issue as his D300 doesn't have that showing. We are wondering if perhaps a spring broke off? Of course we know we have to send it to Melville, but just wanted to know if anyone can ID the silver piece or has idea what's going on! Tks for any input!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]273801._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
