Nikon B500: Why is it's screen black?

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 13:47:58 -0700

I accidentally dropped my sisters Nikon coolpix camera when I was walking down the stairs and all of the batteries spilled out. She used this camera only two or three times and the batteries are mostly new, so I know it's not because it's old or the batteries aren't working. When we turned it on, it turned on and made the sound and everything, but the screen was black and had a little white light on the bottom. We tried using the other buttons to see if they would show up and it wasn't only the actual lenses part, but only black would show up. Please help ASAP. Thank you!

When I turn on my camera it shows an error message that reads “Mode dial is not in the proper position”. None of the functions or buttons work, even after removing the batteries and turning it off and then on again.

So my camera is charged fully, considering it charged for a whole day and I keep trying to turn it on but it just isn’t working. The light to the on/off button turns on everytime I push it but it just never turns on.

Nikon B500: Suddenly stops recording after 7-15 seconds

Fri, 06 Dec 2019 09:19:15 -0700

The last three days while I am recording videos the camera suddenly stops recording, a notice comes across my screen to wait while video is processing. It will sit there and sit there with that message until I turn the camera off by releasing the batteries. It will only record 7-15 seconds at a time. I had no problem recording a week ago. The camera was 4 years old this past February. I have a 32 gig SD card in it (same card I have been using since I bought the camera, and am using Lithium batteries (camera settings are set for lithium batteries). Thank you for your help.

We left the batteries in our camera for to long and one has now corroded the lower contact and it looks like it is ready to break. Is there any way to just replace the contact itself or will the entire contact board need to be replaced.
