Nikon Coolpix P90: Why doesn't my camera's flash work anymore?

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 22:13:03 -0700

I mainly only use my camera to take pictures and the flash would work perfectly fine, but once I switched over to the video setting the flash stopped working.

When I first started taking video, the flash would not come on at all and after a couple attempts to get the flash working, I switched back over to Auto and the flash still won't turn on.

Before I switched over to video, the flash was working just as it should. I've had my camera for a while; do I need to replace the flash bulb?

Is there a battery for date and time back-up? This did not happen when the camera was new. Where is it?

Nikon Coolpix P90: Nikon Coolpix P950 LCD Display show light no image, viewfinder works.

Your List of cameras does not show my specific model.

My Nikon COOLPIX P950 work as designed save for when turned on you can tell the LCD display has light.

Display will turn on and off when the EVF is actuated.

Have changed display.

Have changed out the complete back panel of camera with different camera same issue. There are two ribbon cables on the rear panel; the display cable and the back panel controls cable.

It may be a PCB/Motherboard issue, but I have no way to test it save for changing out the motherboard. Which I can do...But wanted to see if you have encountered this issue and may have a solution.

Having checked the internet a lot of people have the same issue with no resolution, one thread was to clean the EFV sensor and this resolved several peoples issue, I did this and it made no difference.

I reset the camera setting to stock, did not resolve my issue.

Have tried to update firmware but it will not enter into the update process.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Regards

James

Nikon Coolpix P90: Why isn't my camera turning on? :(

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 18:43:25 -0700

I tried to turn on my camera and the display would not light up, so I assumed that the battery was dead. I then proceeded to charge my camera overnight. Unfortunately, it still won't turn on. What can I do to fix it?

Nikon Coolpix P90: How to repair a malfunctioning shutter release button?

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 02:12:00 -0700

When I push down the shutter release after achieving the autofocus, the camera again begins the focusing cycle, and then the shutter release happens.

Also, 50% of the time, the autofocus seems to be active, with the lens constantly moving (this is expected only in MACRO mode).

I am observing this problem only since last 3 months (I have been using this camera since 2011). I believe the shutter release button has developed some fault. How can I rectify it ?
