LCD Top Display

[beano500]

Top display not so "top" anymore.

(It's a D70, before I forget to mention, so any Nikon-bashers are welcome to post...


...somewhere else :D )

But, back to the point. One "cell" (for want of the correct technical word!) appears to be failing, on the top LCD display.

Not really critical, just a bit annoying at the mo.

Do I recall whether anyone else has had similar?

Be useful to know if it's a regular/known problem before I caontact GB under warranty....

Sounds like a warrantee jobbie to me

i dont think they class one pixel as failure... you might have a hard time there.

Hmm! Do you not think so?

I suppose you might argue that the info's repeated in the viewfinder (the cell that's seeming to start to fail is the top of the "8" that makes up (among others) the estimated frames remaining - if that makes any difference). Generally I thought that LCDs were quite robust these days, and that the failure rate for these sorts of displays were relatively rare....

I think you're confusing it with a tft display (like a monitor) made up of thousands of pixels, whereas the top display of the D70 uses segments, so a failure of one of these is more obvious.

I guess it's warranty too.

It's not a 'pixel' as in monitors - worth a warranty claim.

Remember this?

Well I got round to reporting it to Nikon UK.

Now I was a bit on the Nikon site, and every time I hit the button to submit the question it came up with an error message.... ...so I hit the submit button again, and again, and again...



I now have four replies from different individuals to the same question!


1 Reset from menu and retry
2 Reset by removing battery for 24 hours and retry
3 Reset by two-button method and re-format card

and

4 send it in, it needs specialist help.
