black screen digital camera Solved

Question

Hello,I have a problem with a digital camera I received for Christmas. The screen remains black and the photos are also black. It's a Nikon Coolpix P60; it's not a battery issue because it turns on. The menu displays correctly. I had a similar problem with a Sony, but fortunately, Sony was recalling the defective series that mine belonged to, and now, it's the same issue coming back but with a different brand! It's just bad luck;I haven't yet found any answer to this problem on any forum, not even from NIKON who hasn't replied to me yet.TO BE CONTINUEDThank you for your response.

Hello everyone,

Here is a method to get your Nikon Coolpix back in working order. This method works for all models in the series, as the technology is essentially the same, and so is the problem.
Beware, this method is at your own risk. Its success rate is very high if you meticulously follow the steps outlined.

Prerequisite: Your device is fully charged. When turned on, the screen is black and so are the photos. Everything else seems to work. Turn it off.
1) Hold your device firmly in the palm of your hand, with the screen facing your palm.
2) Raise your right fist to the level of your right ear.
3) Aim with your elbow at the word "Coolpix," just below the flash.
4) Strike. Attention, the type of strike is very important. You must not smash your blow by stopping your motion. You need to perform a "smac," meaning that you should give bounce to your strike, as if you were afraid of burning yourself right after touching the indicated spot.
5) Turn your device back on. If the operation worked, congratulations, you've just saved a bit of money and your device shouldn't give you any more trouble. If the device doesn't work, repeat steps 1) to 4) until it is operational again. It might work right away, or take a little while. It mostly depends on the quality of your elbow strike. Remember, do not try to smash or crush it. This is about mechanically unlocking the issue.

There you go, and keep me updated!!!

If I were you, I would either go see customer service or call Nikon directly! Personally, I had never heard of such a problem! Tough luck, good luck! P.S.: don't play the lottery lol!

THANK YOU for the response, I will call Nikon tomorrow as planned, it’s true what bad luck! This is the second time I’ve had this kind of problem but the first time it was a Sony and Sony recalled the defective devices (same kind of problem) but for NIKON I must be the first to have the issue!
Thank you and see you soon for a good answer, I hope.

Thank you,
for my part, I found a Nikon dealer not far from my home, going through them also requires paying for shipping. I will try to go there! For your information, how much did the shipping cost you?

Hello,
I had the same problem with my Nikon Coolpix AW110 (black screen, sound is fine and video works with the screen). The method described here didn't work. However, in a video, there was another method shown, but a little edit in the comments of that video was wonderful! In fact, it involves a bit of rust on the micro HDMI and micro USB ports of the device that makes the Coolpix think it's in external display mode... a dry toothbrush vigorously rubbed on the HDMI and micro USB ports of the device and... miracle, it works!
