Nikon D5000 Service Advisory

For those who have not yet heard, Nikon has released a service advisory for D5000 models. According to Nikon, there is an electronic component related to power control in some Nikon D5000 digital SLR cameras which does not meet factory specifications and may, in certain circumstances, prevent the camera from turning on, thus preventing operation of the camera. Indications of such issues are:

1. The camera cannot be operated when the power switch is on, even with a fully-charged battery.
2. The camera cannot be operated with the EH-5a AC Adapter connected through the EP-5 Power Connector and the power switch on.

Details on which camera batch / serial numbers will only be made available on the 23rd of July 2009. Updates would be made available on this page.
