Hi! Good Day!
I just want to seek advise regarding my Nikon D60's mirror box.
It all started when my Shutter release malfunctioned resulting to an ERROR that says "Press Shutter Release Button Again."I had to click it about a hundred times the first time before the shutter released. After about 10 shots however, it registered the same Shutter Release Error. So i clicked again hundreds of times, it worked again, for about 5 shots. Then Error again. I spent all night pressing it, removing lense, puting it back, charging the battery, using a different battery-- There was no sign that it's going to get fixed! I went to sleep with a heavy heart.
In the morning when I woke up- I read a few forums, saw videos, one of which is the most popular, opening the bottom plate and moving the red gear/wheel-- which I cannot do because I don't have the right tools to open it. So I checked for other fixes... I saw a post about tinkering something inside the box-- but didn't fully understand. I know I shouldn't have done and explored-- But it happened. I didn't really think It will get pushed inside and not come back. :< I thought it was some sort of a button that goes back to original position when you're not pressing it anymore. I apparently pushed the "pin" that is supposed to stop the mirror halfway.. now it goes all the way back. (and won't fold-unfold/close-open when shutter is released.) I know it is really my fault for tinkering with stuff instead of bringing it to a repair shop.
And just my luck, after my clumsiness with the mirror box, resulting into a bit of panic and I depression-- I clumsily bumped it to my bed's headboard. And I heard a click. The Shutter Released. And it seemed like it's back to working like normal. I already tried about 30 random shots and it's still working fine, well, with the half pic, half black result.
So... Now I have a new problem... That PIN that I buried deep inside inside its' own hole.
Any thoughts on how it will be fixed? Or can it be fixed? Would the repairman have access to the pint to push it back to where it was supposed to be? Or I am just really doomed that perhaps the mirror box needs replacement? If it can still be fixed when opened-- Where do you guys suggest that I Bring it? I am from Caloocan-Quezon City-Manila Area, I live near Trinoma. (Philippines).
Thanks for reading! I would really appreciate any kind of response or assistance. :'(
And apologies for the long post.
