The LCD screen is not appearing with any numbers when using it for my nikon d5100. However the buttons seem to work, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks Yirmeyahu79! My screen wasn't working until I popped the batteries out and put them in like you suggested. Golden!

It sounds crazy, but try popping the batteries out and back in, then slide the power button off and back on. If that doesn't work, check to make sure the batteries are good. Mine has worked like a charm, but the first pair of batteries were pretty weak and didn't last long. After I switched them out, I've been shooting for months on the same batteries.

It sounds like you got a defective one, I'd recommend to do an exchange with Amazon. Good luck.

Works with either one of two EN-EL3e batteries individually in each slot as well as AA adaptor. When both Nikon batteries are inserted does not function i.e. D90 does not power on. Am I missing something?

First...assuming you are using the 8-AA battery box...once the grip is attached, remove the battery slide and than reattach. You will know it is working if you look on the display on the camera. Directly right of the icon that shows the remaining battery life it will have the letters BP which indicates the power is coming from the battery grip. Also in the camera setup menu go to the option that lets you choose if you want the power to first come from the camera or battery grip...select the battery grip. If you are talking about not able to use the release button on the grip...make sure you rotate the switch next to it so the indicator points to the white dot which selects the grip controls. Finally...do you have the stock battery in the camera plus the one in the grip? If all else still doesn't work....remove the grip and reattach...perhaps the contacts are dirty or defective. It should work...mine works perfectly and is a cheap replacement for the Nikon unit that is identical in performance and looks. Last thing...if all else fails you may have a bad one so return it.

Unfortunately the signal is infrared light, which you will not be able to see even when the product is working properly. If you have eliminated other possibilities in setting up, do try another battery; but don't worry if you can't see anything. (For me, setting up my Nikon D3300, the key was shutter release mode.)

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

I don't know. I am Nikon. But the specs should tell you. Sorry. Measure the size of your LCD screen, that is the answer because most of the time you just hold it over so you can see in bright light.

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

Most likely it's a faulty cable. Make sure all connections are screwed on tight. Or the triggers won't fire. Make sure the trigger meets the hot shoe 622 (n). N = nikon.

Thanks for all your input. Trying to decide whether it is worth 260.00 to repair or just chock up as a loss. A little disappointed to see Nikon charging so much when it appears this is manufacturing defect. Oh well.

I'm finding that's not happening for my D5100. Returned the first one, got a second, still doesn't work. My review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1POHQWMRP1Y0G/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B007G3DQI2

You need to look in your owners manual for an answer. Personally, I would call Nikon and ask all questions there. Good luck!

Hi I would not waste my time &gt;&gt;&gt; I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

Hello. From your question it seems like you are saying that your Digitizer and LCD Screen are both broken. This listing is for the Digitizer only. You would need to buy the LCD Screen separately, or find a listing that sells the two parts together. Thank you

The LCD is just the display, it is behind the digitizer portion that you actually touch. You can do a google search for A955 digitizer replacement to see more details.
