And yet another twist of the fiber ...
Yesterday I was diddling with my camera in hopes of squeezing out one more image of a painting. It led me down a path of false hope for about an hour and a half before the whole thing just quit. When I turned it off and back on it would not respond at all. And, the little green light in the back of the camera began to blink.
So, today I called the service number that I posted above. After about 15 min. of hold time a Cal. surfer dude answered. I told him of my troubles and asked if he could help. He said that if the little green light on the back was blinking the camera had gone into a cardiac arrest and the light was indicating that the camera was under a "service advisory." This self induced condition was indicating that whatever was wrong with the camera, they would fix it for no charge.
What a splendid turn of events for me. Had I not held on to the camera for a couple of weeks, instead of firing it off right away for repair, I would never have known of the little green blinking light, and the "we'll fix it for free" condition that it brought about.
I'm still skeptable (as my daughter used to say). I told him that it was just out of warranty but it didn't seem to matter to him. I hope this Cal dude hadn't just enjoyed a snort of Maui Wowy before answering the phone.
I was instructed to ship the camera to (depending on which state you live in):
Nikon, Inc.
attn: Service repair
1300 Walt Whitman Rd.
Melville (Herman, no doubt), NY. 11747
Including a letter telling of my troubles and that the camera was under a "service advisory."
Tom:
My understanding is that you can look at the dirty pictures only while munching fiber. I picked up a gross of power bars at the grocery, and except for the constant lower g. i. pains, I feel fine.
