Nikon servicing

[white_van_man]

Where is the best place to get my D70 serviced. I has acquired a rattle and after 3 years of getting knocked around i think its time for it to be sent off for some TLC.
How much is it roughly going to cost to get done?

Thanks

I always use www.graysofwestminster.co.uk - probably not the cheapest, but they do a good job. Worth an e mail or a call to get a quote.

Dropped my D2H into Nikon service department directly in Kingston when it froze up - quick turnaround and posted back to me, mine was fixed under warranty though so not sure what their prices are like.

Either of those suggestions - have use Kingston a few times over the years, last time was the D70 when the LCD screen was giving up (sorted under warranty).

What sort have rattle have you got - you know that the gizmo that tells whether the body is being held horizontally or vertically rattles a bit?

after closer inspection its a rattle that could easily be the gizmo that senses if its in landscape or portrate!!

On reading this thread, I thought to myself "Mine doesn't rattle at all". So I went and shook it and yes it does

What he said. I used Fixation to remap my D80 to remove some hot pixels. I found them to be more helpful than Nikon's Kingston service centre.

PS a D2X doesn't "rattle" as much - more sort of a mature "tick". But don't let everyone know that!!!
