Thank you so much. I haven't used my camera in months because nothing worked. I got out some pliers and pulled out the button next to the view finder and like magic my entire camera came back to life. I am so happy right now!!! Thanks again.

My back screen will not work. I have tried everything mentioned here. I accidentally found that if I press down two buttons at the same time while turning on the camera the MENU lights up on the back screen. Once I let go of either button I am back to black back LCD screen and none of the MENU, Info, playback buttons will light up the back screen. People mention factory reboot and when I follow directions it won't flash on and off in top area so that suggests it's not factory rebooting.

Any other ideas? I am thinking it's a software issue. I cleaned every button and ran a toothpick around each one as well.

Well, I've had my Nikon D5200 for appx 9 yrs and mine just started doing this today. None of the buttons are in stuck mode. I can see things on the LCD screen to set ISO, etc. however the dial nor buttons allow me to get to the menu (button doesn't work either). So now I'm stuck and none of the buttons are. Any ideas? I removed the SD card, battery etc. and left out for a while and nothing. I was using it for macro and when I went to press the photo review button, nothing happened, just a blue screen with the dials etc and not like it was before when pressing the buttons to change ISO etc.

First thing is do a camera reset. There are two Green dots next to or on buttons on your camera... Turn the camera ON, and hold the two buttons with the green dots down at the same time for a few seconds while watching the top LCD display. You should ses the LCD display blink when the camera has reset... See if that works.

Thank You SO MUCH Fred!! At first it didn't do anything, then I changed the dial to AUTO and voila, it came back to life. I've searched so many forums and Nikon and to my dismay, there wasn't much help. Two Green Dots was the key and successfully reset. The LCD didn't blink at all and that's when I decided to turn it to Auto after holding them down and that's when everything came back to life....
Again, Thank you very much for you time and assistance.

Ok, dua tombol tidak berfungsi di D7200 milikku, baru saja terjadi hari ini, tombol Play tidak menampilkan foto apa pun yang telah kuambil atau yang ada di kartuku, dan jika aku menekan tombol Menu, tidak ada yang muncul.
LCD berfungsi karena jika saya menekan info atau i, pengaturan kamera akan ditampilkan?! Apakah ini masalah yang diketahui?
Saya sudah mencoba mengatur ulang dengan menekan dua tombol hijau tetapi tidak terjadi apa-apa.
Semua bantuan akan sangat diterima.

Hello! Found myself in trouble literally in the first minutes of 2025. Wanted to take out my D5600 for a few NYE shots when I noticed that no buttons are working, no liveview, no menu, no info, nothing. I browsed across forums, many stating a similar issue and having people fix it by unlocking a button. In my case, I tried hard enough and there is evidently no button that's stuck.

Batteries don't seem to be an issue, nor SD card, nor lenses. Wonder if I could get some help here as I am an active planespotter and it's just so frustrating to begin the year like this.

Kind regards!
