The mirror got stuck

Hi @splashmit

Firstly, your question is very vague. This means that I (And many others) don't know what you've tried. So in no particular order can you please update your post with the following:

What occurred beforehand

What events followed

Had any previous events led up to this?

Had there been any previous incidents?

What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Have you tried ipa, or other chemicals?

Have you taken apart this device

Have you tried reassembling (To which no avail?)?

What i can roughly say though is that there is a possibility that some dirt has gotten in and jammed something, but I am unable to know for sure unless the above questions can be answered to help with diagnosis.

I have the same problem. I was shooting pictures and suddenly the screen showed the last picture taken and only the upper half was the scene. The bottom half looks black. When I noted that there was no mirror sound when shooting, I removed the lens and saw that the mirror has stopped half way.

What occurred beforehand: nothing weird, just normal funcionting.

What events followed: mirror stuck, camera not able to continue taking pictures

Had any previous events led up to this?: not that I noted.

Had there been any previous incidents? Nope, first time

What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Actually... not much, the mirror is stuck so prefer to ask

Have you tried ipa, or other chemicals? Not seeing how this would help, so no

Have you taken apart this device: no, I preferred to come here to look for help

Have you tried reassembling (To which no avail?)? No.

Thanks for your support!

I too have this issue and its only recent since 2023. I let my D90 sit for almost a year since buying an upgrade and was about to let a friend borrow it. I noticed when I turned it on and pressed the trigger the shutter didn't click and when I removed the lens to exam it, the mirror had gotten stuck. The screen now reads, "--Err--".

What occurred beforehand: Turned it on, clicked the trigger, no shutter clap.

What events followed: Mirror stuck open, about halfway.

Had any previous events led up to this?: No.

Had there been any previous incidents? No.

What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Updating firmware. No luck.

Have you tried ipa, or other chemicals? No. I don't know of any safe chems to use here.

Have you taken apart this device: Figured iFixit would have the answers but seems I'm wrong.

Have you tried reassembling? No, never took it apart.
