Hi guys, new here.
This happened out of the blue. One second im taking pictures, the next im going what!?!?!
Issue:1. The information lcd on top is displaying random crap, its like the microchip went crazy.
2. The information inside the viewfinder is no present.
Things I have tried:
1. Remove battery, memory card, leave it off for hours
2. Charge the battery completely.
3. Put in a rice bowl for 2 days.
I am running out of ideas, I bought this camera used, and its not worth sending to Nikon repair.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, I tried the hard reset (2 green buttons) and it didnt do anything.
Thanks guys
UPDATE:
I have emailed the seller who I bought the camera from. No response for several days.
So I went ahead and shipped it for Nikon. The same day I shipped it, the seller said to send it in, and he will replace it
.
So the camera arrived to Nikon, and they called me and said it will cost $250 to repair.
I am torn on what I should do.
Nikon: will clean my sensor, replace my crappy rubber grips, repair the problem, and send it back as new for $250
or the seller, will probably send me another comparable crappy D300 for the price of shipping EST: $20
Should I just have Nikon repair it and call it a day? What are your thoughts?
