Nikon d3400 black screen help!

[Clovishound]

This thread is about a year old. The original poster has not been active here since then. I doubt they will respond. Try doing a "reset all settings" and see if that fixes it. If not, report back and maybe someone else will have an idea.

You can also call Nikon customer service. They may be able to help you over the phone. Unfortunately, if it needs to be sent in for repair, the cost will likely exceed the price of a replacement used D3400. A used D3400 can be had for $230- $250 from a reputable dealer.

There's a Menu option to "Reset All Settings"... I would remove the battery first.... Then re-insert the battery, and then do the "reset All Settings" menu option and see if that helps

If screen not showing how can you see the menu options to reset?

You are unlikely to get a response from Fred He has passed hence the RIP.

You might try the following if you are also having that problem. Maybe you will get lucky.

Not sure if this is relevant to this make/model, but on Canon body, I was able to reset things by doing the following: 1. Switch off, 2. remove battery and card 3. switch on 4. Hold down the shutter for at least 15 seconds 5. switch off 6. re-instal battery and card 7. switch on and keep your fingers crossed.
It worked for me and cleared unusual issues I was having with it.
This was apparently a suggestion from a technician in one of their factories and was not widely known in the public domain. It makes you wonder if this is what they do when people send their cameras in for a repair costing a fortune
